I found this on one of the websites
As results of different examinations are being declared and some examinations are yet to come I thought it would be worth while mentioning different people considered failures
who went on to become roaring successes!

>Officials rejected a candidate for a news broadcasters post since his
voice was not fit for a news broadcaster.
He was also told that with his obnoxiously long name, he would never
be famous. He is the great Amitabh Bachchan.
>In 1962, four nervous young musicians played their first record
audition for the executives of the Decca Recording Company. The
executives were not impressed. While turning down this group of
musicians, one executive said, "We don't like their sound. Groups of
guitars are on the way out."
>
>
>The group was called The Beatles!
>In 1944, Emmeline Snively, director of the Blue Book Modeling Agency
told modeling hopeful Norma Jean Baker, "You'd better learn
secretarial work or else get married". She went on and became Marilyn
Monroe!
>
>
>In 1954, Jimmy Denny, manager of the Grand Ole Opry, fired a singer
after one performance. He told him, "You ain't goin' nowhere son. You
ought to go back to drivin' a truck". He went on to become Elvis
Presley!
>
>
>A small boy--the fifth amongst seven siblings of a poor father, was
selling newspapers in a small village to earn his living. He was not
exceptionally smart at school but was fascinated by religion and
rockets. The first rocket he built crashed. A missile that he built
crashed multiple times and he was made a butt of ridicule. He is the
person to have scripted the Space Odyssey of India single-handedly.
He is Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, President of India!

>When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it did not
ring off the hook with calls from potential backers. After making a
>demonstration call, President Rutherford Hayes said, "That's an
amazing invention, but who would ever want to see one of them?"
>
>
>When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2000
experiments before he got it to work. A young reporter asked him how
it felt to fail so many times. He said, "I never failed once. I
invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000-step process!"
>
>
>In the 1940s, another young inventor named Chester Carlson took his
idea to 20 corporations, including some of the biggest in the country.
They all turned him down.
In 1947, after 7 long years of rejections, he finally got a tiny
company in Rochester, NY, the Haloid Company, to purchase the rights
to his invention--an electrostatic paper-copying process.
Haloid became Xerox Corporation..!
>
>
>A schoolteacher scolded a boy for not paying attention to his
mathematics and for not being able to solve simple problems. She told
him that you would not become anybody in life. The boy was Albert
Einstein!
>
>
>The world is teeming with failures who've became successful.
Don't be disheartened if you're going through a rough patch now; just
grit your teeth, strive on and join the gang of successful failures..!
..................................................................
So, dear friends, take heart. Nights don't last forever. Dawn is just
round the corner, and though it is the darkest hour before dawn the
brightness is all the more delightful!
