Did you fail the parallel parking part? Yeah, that gets a lot of people. Try again.
Thomas Edison
"We’ve all heard the name before. This famous American is attributed with failing over 10,000 times to invent a commercially viable electric lightbulb, but he didn’t give up. When asked by a newspaper reporter if he felt like a failure and if he should give up, after having gone through over 9,000 failed attempts, Edison simply stated 'Why would I feel like a failure? And why would I ever give up? I now know definitely over 9,000 ways an electric lightbulb will not work. Success is almost in my grasp.' This is also the same person whose teachers said he was 'too stupid to learn anything,' and fired from his first two employment positions for not being productive enough."
