Winners are not people who never fail, but people who never quit…

Next in my series of loved proverbs and quotes is this saying “Winners are not people who never fail, but people who never quit”. There must not be one successful person in the world who has not failed at anything. It is also said that “Failure is the stepping stone to success”. If you have not failed in anything in life, success will definitely take longer to reach you. Luckily for me, I have failed a few times here and there and I don’t quit that easily either – hope lady success finds me soon! 🙂

Here are a few people who had to take a few misses initially but made sure they didn’t quit to reach their successful state today:

1. Bill Gates the creator of Microsoft stumbled with his first start-up and dropped out of Harvard to start his most successful company. 
2. J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series of books, faced rejection of her manuscript 12 times before finally being accepted. 
3. Steven Spielberg, director of extremely popular movies such as ‘Saving Private Ryan’, ‘Jurassic Park’, ‘BFG’, ‘ET’, ‘Schindlers list’, ‘Jaws’ was rejected twice by the ‘University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts.’!!
4. ‘Albert Einstein’ – the brainy man born in 1879 was considered as a major failure by his father. He did not talk till he was 4 years old. He also joined college but almost dropped out. This is the person, who taught us the theory of relativity and more ground breaking work in Physics.

All the personalities listed suffered initial setbacks in their current glorious career. But it was their inherent trait to never quit that got them to the level they are today!
‘Winners are not people who never fail, but people who never quit’…
Cheers! 🙂
