Bangalore: Life can be unfair sometimes. While some are fortunate to savor success earlier in their life, some are destined to ‘keep trying’. For people belonging to the latter kind, patience and persistence play a key role in determining their success. Their achievements in life eventually bank upon their ‘never give up’ attitude.

So for those who plan to give up on their dreams just because of some initial hiccups we thought of putting together a list of people who experienced such miserable failures early in their life that could’ve left them devastated. But as it is said, ‘Fortune favors the brave’, these people never gave up on their dreams and climbed the ladder only to be known as the most successful people in their respective fields.

Hope this gives you a new ray of hope and a reason to stick to your dream and follow your heart despite of a million obstacles:

#1.Winston Churchill:

  Who is he: British conservative politician, historian, writer and an artist.

          Winston Churchill, before he became the prime minister of the Great Britain at the age of 62 had faced defeat in every public office role he ever ran for. He even failed the sixth grade but today, he is seen as a respected personality today all across the globe.

#2.Thomas Alva Edison:

     Who is he: Great inventor of all times.

          Thomas Edison was told by his teachers that he was too slow to learn anything in life. Who knew then that this ‘slow’ kid would become the man who will give us the first electric bulb? But even that did not come as an instant success. He invented nearly a 1000 bulbs before inventing the one that worked!
