Famous Failures Part 2 by Jay Shetty

Speaking at Harvard’s graduation, J.K. Rowling spoke about failures:
“You might never fail on the scale I did,” Rowling told the new graduates. “But it is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all—in which case, you fail by default.”
When Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter book, she was divorced, bankrupt and on welfare.

After a dozen publishers rejected her manuscript one finally agreed to publish it. But the publisher told Rowling that she needed to get a job because there’s no money in children’s books.

She’s now a billionaire.

The road to success is paved with hard work, sacrifice and determination. Brian Acton’s hard work paid him off big time with a simple idea called Whatsapp. Born in the year 1972, Acton is more popular as the Co founder of WhatsApp. His life was not very simple.

The man who was once rejected by Facebook as an employee sold WhatsApp to Zuckerberg recently and also holds stakes in the company.According to Acton, “Life is all about adventures and achieving success or nothing”. This adventure helped him create a mobile message giant which is now being used by more than 450 million people.

Jay, I am constantly let down by alot of people, Failed in life, rejected by companies, labelled as an idiot by teachers. When no one believed in myself, I did. I want to be the best and everyday I work hard for it, but some days I just loose hope and feel lazy. I just shut down. This is where your videos come in. Its so inspirational.

As a school kid, I was labelled an idiot because I never was good with Math or Physics. Was just an idiot with big dreams. Today I am pursuing my Masters in Aerospace in a reputed university. Life is just beginning. I m still the same old idiot with huge dreams. :) :)

My friends hear music whenever they are free and I hear your words, every words you say pump my energy heal my mind and I am very thankful for you.

Failures array shadows that lie upside down projecting oneself image through darkness manifesting a reflection that only one eye sees. That one eye is the eye we see through that we cannot comprehend, but absorb vibrations we seep through struggle we cannot see. Repetition follows those that see with a closed mind that we cannot hear speak.

Thanks for making us think and act. Life is all about believing in ourselves and going for unexpected. That's how everything was made. Without explosion in the galaxy, earth would not have been created, sun would not have been present today. Every special being in the universe is the result of constant failure, rejection and massive action.

Thanks for inspiring and adding value Jay. I appreciate the wonderful work behind the making of the video.

I was trying to find this channel for more than 2 months, you're really doing great dude.

[mahimarai]

I watch your videos every single day while commuting back from my hectic day to home. It makes me happy about myself. Makes me feel confident about all the decisions I took through out the day and will take the next day. And appreciate myself for any small achievement I had that day.. This is a part of my life now :) thank you for this. Keep doing this.

This is the cure to my overthinking and resulting into depression. This will keep me going. If there is anything greater than love in this world, that thing is what you are giving to the world. Thank you !

The story you started the video with was taught to us in school, when i was in 9th grade, while everyone was learning biology while our moral science teacher was finding ways to share this amazing story i was the listener, i was one inquisitive kid i always wanted to learn new perspectives but then i couldn't get her message quite proper and now after so many years i see you talking about it, i get the whole point. Keep up the good word and you're actually making the world a better place to live.

[doinab]

As always, so inspiring! Wish they could teach that in school. Jay, you should create a podcast on iTunes, if you do not have one already.

[shivavs]

You have made me feel a lot better about my life, and have boosted that soul that i've kept hidden for a long time.
I love your speeches and have always got inspired from them.
Massive RESPECT!!

[kavyakolluru]

You have a way of really connecting with people and putting across such strong, beautiful messages. Keep up your wonderful work Jay!

[mandarTube]

Really Thankful to you for bringing all the stories together and addressing many good thoughts which really is hidden within ourself. Your stories are positive and convincing. This is really making some difference in my day to day thought process. Really greatfull for your service to the community. I wish someday I can also give back something to the community from what I have or what I learned in any possible manner. We usually take things/learnings from community to build ourself but then we do owe something to the community which we need give back at some point.

[andyctzh]

[MsNomedeplume]

This is not new. we all read about this but we rarely carry it to our troubled times. That courage to remember that failure is a part of the plan is what most of us need, especially as we are failing. love your passion.. this is my first ever video of yours and I felt compelled to connect
