Failure

Albert Einstein
Thomas Edison
Thomas edison failed a lot of things but most of the time turned his failures into success. As opposed to inventors who have a full education Thomas Edison went to school for a total of 12 weeks but got pulled out by his mother because the teachers said he was “difficult” and always got “distracted. Unlike other inventors Thomas learned to self teach himself and read books of all different subjects. Like many famous inventors he had a job at 12 years old as a paperboy at the Grand Trunk railroad line. He conducted science experiments in an old boxcar. But couldn’t sell paper there anymore because one of his experiments caught on fire. Compared to other inventors Thomas Edison has gone down as one of the biggest influences on the whole world. In conclusion Thomas Edison has had some fails but turned them into accomplishments.

Oprah Winfrey
Although Oprah is one of the most famous people in the world she had to face some failure before she got there. Oprah was living with her grandmother for the first few years of her life until she fell ill and she had to go to a boarding house in Milwaukee. The effect of this is she would grow up in major poverty which lead to her being physically and sexually abused. Since she lived in that house it caused her to be raped at the age of nine. Because of this she went to Nashville, Tennessee to live with her dad at the age of fourteen. As a result of her moving in with her dad she got a full scholarship to Tennessee state university. In order for her to pursue her career in media she had to leave college early. All in all Oprah Winfrey has gone through tough failures but had a result of becoming a famous talk show host because of perseverance.
