Hey I like this John…. This is some very interesting stuff! It makes me thankful for everything and it also makes me think twice about a few things in my life. I won’t complain for a while about my faults or sorrows. TTFN…..
Right man, as they say, ” Success is failure turned upside down”.
An inspiring collection here, John. I didn’t realize Lincoln lost the election 7 times. But to add something about music, Elvis Presley was once a truck driver. His music was declined at first because people that time are not fans of fast guitar songs.
About Beethoven, I think all his siblings have the same problem and her mother thought of aborting him because of fear that he will suffer the same consequences.
Makes me remind of my favorite saying – Success is never final, failure is never fatal.
Nice site and great collections!
@Angel: I like your fave saying hope that I can use it too!

@Jessica- That would be a good mindset not always complaining when things is in the wrong way. Take care!
@ Sir Mon- Your right, just flip it
@Sir Angel- Failure can’t kill you if you have the right interpretation of it. Thanks for sharing the others who made it big in spite of so many failures.
@Jamir- Thanks for subscribing. Take care!
My favorite and challenging word for me – failure. Failure is just the start of the new beginning. Thanks for the inspiration Bro.
Thanks Sir Ambo for dropping by. Failure for me is a positive word because without failure you wouldn’t really know your strength and weaknesses.
@ Johnlazy. You’re completely right….without failure there wouldn’t be any improvements! Life would also be very boring and predictable!
@ Ambo. You’re right….failure is a new begining. Without it life would be useless. We wouldn’t learn anything.
Failure is a part of life. Thanks for dropping by Jessica.
Exactly! FAILURE is and always has been a major part of our lives! Our Failures tend to keep us on the right track and realizing this only helps matters!
