Famous Failures

Einstein’s teachers labeled him ‘mentally slow.’  He didn’t speak until almost five years old, and was expelled from school.

Oprah was fired and told she was ‘unfit for television.’

A young engineer, Soichiro, wanted a certain engineering job at Toyota, and he was very upset he didn’t get it.  So, he left and started a brand using his last name: Honda.

Henry had multiple businesses fail under his leadership, but eventually he created a small company called Ford.

Steven was rejected from the University of Southern California three times, and eventually dropped out of another college.  He created a few movies you might have seen like Jaws, Jurassic Park, and Indiana Jones.

Rowland Hussey had seven straight businesses fail before he started Macy’s.

Akio’s company was so broke they started making rice cookers that didn’t work very well at all, but after many years of barely keeping the lights on, Sony found their niche.

Winston failed the sixth grade and was beaten in every election he partook in, until becoming the prime minister.  His last name, Churchill, is now synonymous with the stalwart leadership that helped the Allies defeat Hitler in World War II.

Jerry froze his first time up on the big stage, and was consequently booed off it.  His television show ‘about nothing’ was laughed at and ridiculed, until Seinfield became one of the longest-running and most popular shows in television history.

Vincent only sold one painting during his lifetime and was a true starving artist, but today, Van Gogh’s paintings together are worth billions.
