I'm convinced that there's no such thing as an overnight success. I believe it's a myth to believe that overnight in 24 hours that someone can turn into a worldwide phenomenal.

painter:

Once a lady was in a marketplace and she saw Picasso and she went up to Picasso and she said, “Picasso, can you draw me a portrait ?”
He said, “sure I will draw your portrait.”

He then reached for a pen and paper and he in 30 seconds sketched an identical portrait of this lady.
And while handling it back to her he said, “that will cost you $30,000” and she was frightened and said that “Picasso, how could you sell this to me for $30,000 which took only 30 seconds?
Picasso said, “it took me 30 years to be able to do that in 30 seconds.”

And it's amazing how that time, that unforgotten, the invisible world, beyond the bottom of the iceberg underneath the water, the part we don't see is actually what made what you see today possible.

When you look at the definition of a failure in the English dictionary, it’s defined by three words “lack of success” but that means :

1. We don't value learning
2. We don't value growth
3. We don’t value experience and struggle.

Our obsession with winning means that we're actually letting go of all of that which we could be learning at every single point of time.
Since I was a young boy I've been enamored with stories of failure, from biographies and autobiographies of books about people who changed the world, of books that people who changed other people world.

Cartoonist :

There was a young cartoonist and all the editors and newspaper journalists said that he lacks natural talent. They rejected him and after countless rejections, there was a church minister who gave him an opening to start drawing little cartoons in the back of the church, in a small little shed.
And this gentleman he once saw a mouse running around and believe it or not that was the birth of “Mickey Mouse.” That was “Walt Disney”. That cartoonist who went on to win 22 Academy Awards.

basketball player :

There was a young man who is actually cut from his high school basketball team. He went home. He shut the door, actually slammed it to shut and cried for the rest of the evening.
And finally enough he went on to become a 6 time “NBA champion” and 5 time “MVP player of the NBA” and he's not other than the person named “Michael Jordan.”

You believe it that the person was rewarded as one of the best players of all time.

He was missed by that coach who missed his potential and I'd love to speak to that coach now and see what they think about Michael Jordan.

actress:

Imagine this lady was told that she wasn't fit for television. She was told that she would never make it online or on TV.
And she is “Oprah Winfrey.”
She became the most influential women in the world.

president:

This has to be my favorite failure story of all time. His fiancé died. He failed in business. He had a nervous breakdown and on top of all of that he failed and lost 8 elections. He went on to be the “16th president of the United States of America.”
Yes ! He was Abraham Lincoln.

I actually believe that failure has the ability to know what success is.
Countless failures are almost doorkeepers to success and every time you walk through one door the gate gets bigger and the lock gets tighter.
And guess that’s what becomes more “difficult.”

And at that we are tested of our genuineness or our authenticity in a real desire to chase that goal, a real desire to actually embody the values that are needed to almost take responsibility for that success, to take responsibility for that position, and the influence it brings with it and therefore if you've never felt, ………… you never really tried anything new.
