Don’t be discouraged

A Walt Disney poster, published after his death
If you at first you fail in something you are trying to do, don’t give up. A newspaper editor fired Walt Disney because he had no ideas whatsoever. Walt did not give up and built up the billion dollar empire that is Disneyworld, producing some of the most memorable animated movies ever created. The famous author G. K. Chesterton spent 8 years learning how to read, and he became one of the greatest Catholic writers. Henry Ford forgot to put the reverse gear in the first car he invented, and eventually started the Ford Car Company empire. Michelangelo made over 2000 designs for his Last Judgment masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel, and it took him 8 years to complete. It is one of the most admired masterpieces ever created, and is seen by thousands of people daily. Enrico Caruso was convinced that he had absolutely no voice and his employer suggested he tries engineering instead. Good thing he did not, as he became one of the greatest opera stars with a fantastic voice.
