Ever tried, ever failed.No matter, try again, fail again,fail bette.

-Saumel Brackett

As a young man, Abraham Lincoln went to war a captain and returned a private. Afterwards, he was a failure as a businessman. As a lawyer in Springfield, he was too impractical and temperamental to be a success. He turned to politics and was defeated in his first try for the legislature, again defeated in his first attempt to be nominated for congress, defeated in his application to be commissioner of the General Land Office, defeated in the senatorial election of 1854, defeated in his efforts for the vice-presidency in 1856, and defeated in the senatorial election of 1858. At about that time, he wrote in a letter to a friend, “I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were equally distributed to the whole human family, there would not be one cheerful face on the earth.”
Winston Churchill failed sixth grade. He was subsequently defeated in every election for public office until he became Prime Minister at the age of 62. He later wrote, “Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never, Never, Never, Never give up.” (his capitals, mind you)

Determination

Charles Darwin gave up a medical career and was told by his father, “You care for nothing but shooting, dogs and rat catching.” In his autobiography, Darwin wrote, “I was considered by all my masters and my father, a very ordinary boy, rather below the common standard of intellect.” Clearly, he evolved.
Thomas Edison’s teachers said he was “too stupid to learn anything.” He was fired from his first two jobs for being “non-productive.” As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, “How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?” Edison replied, “I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.”

Albert Einstein did not speak until he was 4-years-old and did not read until he was 7. His parents thought he was “sub-normal,” and one of his teachers described him as “mentally slow, unsociable, and adrift forever in foolish dreams.” He was expelled from school and was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic School. He did eventually learn to speak and read. Even to do a little math.

Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because “he lacked imagination and had no good ideas.” He went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland. In fact, the proposed park was rejected by the city of Anaheim on the grounds that it would only attract riffraff.

Only Those Who Dare To Fail Greatly can Achieve Greatly

-Robert Kennedy

Failure is a part of life. We don’t know what will happen in future with us. The one who dares to come forward and get a chance to show his power, finally gets the success.

OxyGyan.com is one of the example to such courage. I really feel from the depth of my Heart, that this experiment will take the No. 1 place on internet one day.

ALL THE BEST FOR THE OXYGYAN.COM TEAM.

 

If I have the belief that I can do it,
I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it
even if I may not have it at the beginning.

-Mahatma Gandhi

    Hey man…you simply rock….

    Some other inspiring thoughts:

    1)”When you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true”
    2)”Tough times don’t last,tough men do….”

    This is what Capt. Gopinath (Founder: Air Deccan) said in a recent article in the Economic Times:
    “Dream big,act fast and be decisive”

    so…lets start dreaming of achieving something big……..and work hard to achieve the goals!!!!

    Thanks for motivating and showing that even we fail many time, but we are not failure till the time we keep on trying.
    Also I would like to add, one qoute here

    Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

    Thomas Jefferson

    Hence, we should always have the right and ve attitude towards everything…
