Just heard a great quote this morning- Success is nothing more than a series of failures. For example.....
AKIO MORITA (Founder, Sony)
The founder of Sony had a rough start when his early products failed to take hold. In fact, Sony’s very first product was an unmitigated disaster—a rice cooker that unfortunately had the bad habit of burning rice instead of cooking it. It sold less than 100 units. Undeterred, Morita convinced his investors to stick with him and turned the company into what it is today.
CHARLES SCHULTZ (Creator, Peanuts)
Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy and Linus Van Pelt, Peppermint Patty…Schultz created some of the most endearing comic characters. So it’s ironic that his early career was filled with one rejection after another. His high school yearbook staff rejected every single one of the cartoons he submitted for publication and even Walt Disney turned down his job application
THOMAS EDISON (Inventor)
As a child, Edison’s teachers told him he was “too stupid” to learn anything. As an adult, he was fired from his first two jobs for being “unproductive.” We may remember him now for vital inventions like the light bulb, but even that took over 1,000 unsuccessful attempts before he got it right.
Those are words to trade by and more importantly live by.
