When Going gets tough

I am writing this post because i feel that in everyone's life there comes a time when he/she feels that all the odds are against him. This is the time when your patience and your ability to fight back is tested. We should probably take cue from the life of those who have prooved themselves in such situations and should not stop. Following are few examples:-
1. The legendry " Beatles" who were turned down by many recording companies before Capitol took them as their clients. Their music has touched many.
2. "Albert Einstein" did not speak until he was four yeards old, and did not read until he was seven. His teacher described him as mentally slow but he still changed our perception of the universe.
3. " Abraham Lincoln" lost nine public elections, declared bankruptcy twice, weathered a nervous breakdown and the death of a fiance before he was elected for presidency.
4. Thomas Elva Edison tried a thousand difference materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none of them worked our his assistant complained, "All your work is in vain. we have learned nothing" To this Edison replied confidently, " Oh we have come a long way and we have learnt a lot. We now know that there are a thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb"
5. Walt disney was fired by a newspaper editor for his lack of ideas. He also went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland.
6. Colonel Sanders proposal to franchise his gradma's recipe was rejected several times before it lead to the creation of Kentucky Fried Chicken popularly known as KFC.
Well if these people can do wonders and can achieve what they wanted to achieve why cannot we?
