Winners...

A Winner is NOT one who NEVER FAILS......But one who NEVER QUITS!!!

10 Real Life Incident and Learn not to Quit in life


1) Officials rejected a candidate for a news broadcasters post since his voice was not fit for a news broadcaster. He was also told that with his obnoxiously long name, he would never be famous. He is Amitabh Bachchan.
-------------------------------------------
2)In 1962, four nervous young musicians played their first record audition
for the executives of the Decca Recording Company. The executives were not impressed. While turning down
this group of musicians, one executive said, "We don't like! their sound.Groups of guitars are on the way out." The group was called The Beatles.
-------------------------------------------- 3)In 1944, Emmeline Snively, director of the Blue Book Modeling Agency told modeling hopeful Norma Jean Baker, "You'd better learn secretarial work or else get married". She went on and became Marilyn Monroe.
--------------------------------------------
4)In 1954, Jimmy Denny, manager of the Grand Ole Opry, fired a singer after one performance. He told him, "You ain't goin' nowhere son. You ought to go back to
drivin' a truck". He went on to become
Elvis Presley.
-------------------------------------------
5)A small boy--the fifth amongst seven siblings of a poor father, was selling newspapers in a small village to earn his
living. He was not exceptionally smart at school but was fascinated by religion and rockets. The first rocket he built crashed. A missile that he built crashed
multiple times and he was made a butt of ridicule. He is the person to have scripted the Space Odyssey of India single-handedly. He is Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. President of India.
-------------------------------------------
6)When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it did not ring off the hook with calls from potential backers.
After making a demonstration call, President Rutherford Hayes said,
"That's an amazing invention, but who would ever want to see one of them?"
-------------------------------------------
7)When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2000 experiments before he got it to work. A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many
times. He said, "I never failed once. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000-step process".
-------------------------------------------
8)In the 1940s, another young inventor named Chester Carlson took his idea to 20 corporations, including some of the biggest in the country. They all turned him down. In 1947, after 7 long yearsof rejections,
he finally got a tiny company in Rochester, NY, the Haloid Company, to purchase the rights to his invention--an electrostatic paper-copying process. Haloid became
Xerox Corporation.
------------------------------------------
9)A little girl--the 20th of 22 children,
was born prematurely and her survival was doubtful. When she was 4 years old,
she contracted double pneumonia and scarlet fever, which left her with aparalyzed left leg. At age 9, she removed the metal leg brace she had been
dependent on and began to walk without it. By 13 she had developed a rhythmic
walk, which doctors said was a miracle. That same year shedecided to become a runner. She entered a race and came in last. For the next few years every
race she entered, she came in last.

Everyone told her to quit, but she kept on running. One day she actually won a race.
And then another. From then on she won every race she entered. Eventually this little girl-- Wilma Rudolph, went on to win three Olympic gold medals.
----------------------------------------
10)A school teacher scolded a boy for not paying attention to his mathematics
and for not being able to solve simple problems. She told him that you would not become anybody in life. The boy was Albert Einstein
