Dhirubhai Ambani
“If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs.”
Next on our list of inspiring success stories is Dhirubhai Ambani. The story of Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder of reliance is a true rag to riches story. He was born in a poor family and worked his way up the ladder. He moved to Yemen at the age of 16 to work at a petrol pump. He returned to India in 1958 and started his own textile business. Working in this business he got good marketing knowledge. After he ended this textile business he launched Reliance Corporation in 1996, which is today known as the Reliance Industries. There is also a scholarship in his name now by the name of Dhirubhai Ambani Scholarship.
Most of us know of this great man because of what he did for those who were in bondage in the United States of America. He delivered the Emancipation Proclamation; a massive accomplishment which ultimately led to the abolition of slavery. But, what most don’t realize about Abraham Lincoln, is that he has one of the most impressive rap sheets when it comes to overcoming defeat.
In short, his success story consists of a list of failures and set backs so sizable, that you would hardly think it belonged to one of the most accomplished and respected presidents of the United States of America.
Here’s a great example of the many failures Lincoln endured, with a few victories he managed to sprinkle in over his lifetime:
1832: Lost his job
1832: Defeated for legislature
1833: Failed in business
1834: Elected to legislature
1835: The woman he loved died
1836: Had a nervous breakdown
1838: Defeated for Speaker
1843: Defeated for nomination for Congress
1848: Lost re-nomination
1849: Reject for Land Officer
1854: Defeated for Senate
1856: Defeated for nomination for Vice-President
1858: Again defeated for Senate
1860: Elected for President of The United States of America
To be sure, Lincoln virtually failed his way to success, and his recorded failures helps us realize the truth behind the Michael Jordan quote we mentioned earlier, and that is…that the key to success is through failure.
Out of all of these success stories, this one in particular should convince you that just because you’ve yet to succeed in life, it doesn’t mean you never will. So, keep pushing and preparing for your big day, because it will come, so long as you keep eye on the prize and keep moving forward.
