To cap this off, his father regarded him as a failure before passing away.
Einstein was lost with what to do in life and took mediocre jobs.
However, he would later go onto beginning the creation of the quantum theory.
A Nobel Prize in 1921 would highlight his achievements.

MJ wasn’t going to give up easily though
Instead he raised his performance through working twice as hard and more frequently.
Don’t forget that even the greats take major hits.
And you’re thinking of giving up after the first time?

Through 5 years of perseverance and tenacity, the company really started to take off when he created Mickey Mouse.
Nevertheless, the failures and setbacks should have been enough for him to give up on his dreams, but he didn’t and this is why he well and truly succeeded.
