=======================================
As a young cartoonist, WALT DISNEY faced many rejections from newspaper editors, who said HE HAD NO TALENT.
One day a minister at a church hired him to draw some cartoons. Disney was working out of a small mouse infested shed near the church. After seeing a small mouse, he was inspired.
That was the start of Mickey Mouse.
=======================================
One day a PARTIALLY DEAF 4 YR. OLD came home with a note in his pocket from his
teacher, "Your Tommy is too stupid to learn, get him out of the school."
His mother read the note and answered, "My Tommy is not stupid to learn, I will teach him myself."

FALLING DOWN IS NOT FAILURE.............but FALLING DOWN and then FAILING TO GET UP is FAILURE...
Always remember...the Winner is the one who gets up one more time than the no. of times he/she has fallen.
SO NEVER GIVE UP...keep up the spirit...and then World is there for the taking...
