CONSIDER THIS
Beethoven handled the violin awkwardly and preferred playing his own compositions instead of improving his techniques. His teacher called him hopeless as a composer.
Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor for lack of ideas. Walt Disney also went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland.
Thomas Edison's teacher said he was too stupid to learn anything.
Louis Pasteur was only a mediocre pupil in undergraduate studies and ranked 15th out of 22 in chemistry.
Albert Einstein did not speak until he was four years old and didn't read until he was seven. His teacher described him as "mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in his foolish dreams." He was expelled and was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic School.
Isaac Newton did poorly in grade school.
Henry Ford failed and went broke five times before he finally succeeded.
Winston Churchill failed sixth grade. He did not become Prime Minister of England until he was 62 and then only after a lifetime of defeats and setbacks. His greatest contributions came when he was a "senior citizen."
