Winners are not quitters...

Hello....

I came across this post somewhere on other blog and found it quite inspiring..
So here I share you this with you all...


In 1962 four nervous young musicians played their first record audition for executives of the Decca recording Company. The executives were not impressed. While turning down this group of musicians, one executive said "We don't like their sound. Groups of guitars are on their way out."

The group was called "THE BEATLES".

In 1944, Emmeline Snively, director of Blue Book Modelling Agency told modelling hopeful Norman Jean Baker, "You would better learn secretarial work, or else get married"

She went on to become MARILYN MONROE.

In 1954, Jimmy Denny, manager of the Grand Ole Opry fired a singer after one performance. He told him "You ain't goin' nowhere, son. You ought to go back drivin' a truck."

He went on to become ELVIS PRESLEY.

When a gentleman invented a communications machine in 1876, it did not ring off the hook with calls from potential backers. After making a demonstration call, President Rutherford Hayes said, "That's an amazing invention but who would ever want to see one of them"

He said this to ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL.

A school teacher scolded a boy for not paying attention to his mathematics and and not being able to solve simple problems. She told him he would not become anything in life. His mother, however believed in him and coached him in Maths.

The boy went on to become ALBERT EINSTEIN.

In 1940's, another young inventor took his idea to 20 corporations, including some of the biggest in the country. They all turned him down. Finally, a tiny company in New York, The Haloid Company purchased the rights to his invention - an electrostatic paper copying process. Halid became Xerox Corporation.

The young inventor was CHESTER CARLSON.

A candidate for a news broadcaster post was rejected because of his voice. He was also told that with his obnoxiously long name, he would never become famous.

He is AMITABH BACHCHAN.

A small boy - fifth amongst seven siblings of a poor father used to sell newspapers in his village to earn a living. He was not exceptionally smart in school, but was fascinated by religion and rockets. The first rocket he built crashed. A missile he built crashed multiple times and he was made a butt of ridicule. He is the person to have scripted the space Odyssey of India single-handedly.

He is now the President of India - Dr. APJ ABDUL KALAM.

A winner is not one who never fails, but one who NEVER QUITS!!
