**A winner is NOT one who NEVER FAILS, but one who NEVER QUITS!!!!

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 -
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.

In 1962, four nervous young musicians played their first record audition

The group was called The Beatles.

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?"
-------------------------------------------
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."
-------------------------------------------
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 years of 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.

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 a paralysed 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 she decided 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.

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.

**The Moral of the above Stories: **
**
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet Only through experiences of
trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition
inspired and success achieved.
You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you
really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you cannot do.
And remember, the finest steel gets sent through the hottest furnace.
In LIFE, remember that you pass this way only once! let's live life to the
fullest and give it our extreme best.
"Failure is the pillar of success!"
