“FAILURES” WHO MADE IT BIG...
• Harrison Ford was told early in his career by a studio exec that he’d never make it as a leading man...he didn’t have “it.”

Every failure, obstacle or hardship is an opportunity in disguise. Success in many cases is failure turned inside out. Eliminate the negative attitude and believe you can do anything. Replace 'if I can, I hope, maybe' with 'I can, I will, I must.”
