The Daily Inspired

As the Olympics wind down this weekend there are many athletes who will be heading back to their own countries having lost. Some might say they have failed. But what do you think they are going to do? Stop skiing? Stop snowboarding? Stop curling? No. They will keep going and trying. They will do better next time.

Many people have failed in one thing, some things, or many things. But what sets the failures apart from the successes are that they keep going until they succeed! Many people that are renowned have failed. This video shows just a few:

• Did you know Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team?
• Did you know Thomas Edison was told by his teacher he was too stupid to learn anything?

Check out this video and see what other successful people were once told they were failures, then decide to succeed!

How do you look at failure?

It’s defined as, an event that does not accomplish its intended purpose or lack of success. Do you look at failure at making you worse off? Does it bring you down?

It doesn’t have to. Failure can make you stronger.

Change your perspective.
