#26.Stephen King:

       Who is he: Renowned author.

          Stephen King was so frustrated by his first novel that he had thrashed the manuscript. His wife late found the papers in the dustbin and persuaded him to get it published. Till date, his 49 novels have sold more than 350 million copies.

It was their passion and their zeal to succeed that led them to being successful. Had they given up on their dreams we would have missed on a lot of good novels, talk shows, cars and what not. Glad these people pursued their dreams even after so many hindrances and left us with lessons to learn.
