Failure should not be considered an alternative to success. Not already. And we have to avoid it. People want success, not failure. But failure can also be considered only a temporary setback that happens to us as we move along a larger and more important path. There are no people who don’t face failure. What matters is how you react to that failure and what you learn from it.
We will see the story of 6 entrepreneurs. Yeah, when you hear their names, you’ll think about what they did and what we’re still talking about. Because their story has resulted in a huge success. I want to emphasize that the source of these great achievements is actually failure. You may fail when you do a job. But remember, this can open new doors for you.
1. Arianna Huffington was rejected by 36 publishers.
Arianna Huffington is one of the most recognizable names in online publications. It’s hard to really believe that someone so recognisable was once rejected by 36 major broadcasters.
Her second book, which Huffington tried to publish long before she created the now ubiquitous Huffington Post empire, was accepted for publication. But it was rejected 36 times before it was accepted for publication.
The Huffington Post did not succeed in an instant. Something that is already beginning cannot be expected to succeed in an instant. When it was released, there were dozens of negative reviews about its quality and potential. But Huffington overcame those initial setbacks. He also managed to print her name as one of the most successful outlets on the web.
2. Bill Gates watched his first company collapse.
Bill Gates is one of the richest people in the world. But it should be known that he has not always been successful in making this money. Of course, there have been many failures.
Gates entered the entrepreneurial scene with a company called Traf-O-Data. They aimed to process and analyze data from traffic bands with this system. You might think of it as an early version of big data. He tried to sell the idea with his business partner Paul Allen. But the product was not very successful, and the process was a complete disaster.
However, failure did not stop Gates from exploring new opportunities, and a few years later, he created the first Microsoft product as a new path to success. Yeah, maybe it’s the operating system of the computer you’re reading this article on right now.

Steinbrenner owned a small basketball team called the Cleveland Pipers in 1960, before giving it a name after acquiring ownership of the New York Yankees. In 1962, due to Steinbrenner’s direction, the entire team went bankrupt.That failure seemed to follow Steinbrenner when he took over the Yankees in the 1970s. Because the team struggled with a lot of glitches and losses in the 1980s and 1990s.
However, despite the fear and criticism of Steinbrenner’s controversial decisions, he eventually led the team to an incredible comeback with six World Series appearances between 1996 and 2003 and a record of being one of Major League Baseball’s most profitable teams. And then he was always mentioned about his achievements.
