Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey has made a name for herself as one of the most powerful women in the world and a multi-billionaire. It’s difficult to believe that her life was anything but wonderful, given her popularity on the Oprah Winfrey Show, memoirs, radio shows, and involvement in the weight reduction industry. But as a young girl, she had a lot to overcome. She was born to a poor single mother, grew up in poverty, and was repeatedly sexually molested.
Bill Gates
He’s best recognised for founding Microsoft and becoming extremely wealthy as a result of it. His first company venture failed despite his exceptional commercial acumen and brain. This technology-related business wouldn’t even run during a pitch to possible investors. Thank heavens Bill didn’t give up after this first setback; else, our lives would be very different right now.
Walt Disney
The Disney corporation, as almost everyone knows, is one of the most profitable enterprises in the world, with high-quality standards and a never-ending stream of inventions. Walt was sacked from a newspaper job because he “lacked imagination” when he was young. Disney’s optimistic attitude was definitely what kept him continuing forward after a few failed businesses. “A kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you,” he has been reported as saying. Of course, after his debut film, Snow White was released, the rest was history.
Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey, the overly enthusiastic, high-energy comedian extraordinaire, was not always a humorous success. His family got so impoverished when he was in his early teens that they had to live in a van. Jim even dropped out of school to help support the family financially. Carrey was ultimately recognised as a wonderful comedic talent after years of touring from comedy club to comedy club to do stand-up and is now one of the industry’s top stars
