Never, never give up

This one came from the "Go For No!" email that shows up regularly in my in-box:

"The very first company I started failed with a great bang.

"The second one failed a little bit less, but still failed.

"The third one, you know, proper failed, but it was kind of okay. I recovered quickly.

"Number four almost didn't fail. It still didn't really feel great, but it did okay.

"Number five was PayPal."

- Max Levchin, former CTO of PayPal

How many times did Walt Disney go bankrupt before he made it

Imagine the banker that told the young man who came into his bank that he needed a loan so he could start a company 'selling water in a bottle,?"

He laughed the young man out of his bank!

To those who have never failed, you never accomplished, and never will!

And, of course, there is the Col. Sanders' story... I'll bet most kids today don't know it.
