Time after time I have heard of people trying out or competing for something and not make it or get it. But their failure does not discourage them and they keep on practicing and getting better. Eventually, their work does pay off and they accomplished what they want. Henry Ford car business suffered around the 1900’s, but he this failure did not set him back, he pushed forward. His cars were low quality and high in price for the average consumers. He kept on developing new engines and cars and gained the nation acclaim in 1904. He invented a car that broke the land speed record that traveled one mile in 40 seconds. Also in 1908 he released a “model T” car that was low price and popular to the consumers of America having annual sale reach over $250,000 by 1914. Another example is Walt Disney Corporation, in the 1930’s experienced multiple financial setbacks and lost the rights to Oswald (the lucky rabbit character). The company was experiencing a four million dollar debt at the time, but they kept on producing movies finally one of them(Snow White) hit the block buster’s and set got them out debt and into the future.
Both dedication and hard work will allow you achieve many of your goals throughout life. Throughout life, there will be many challenges and setbacks, but if you keep motivated you overcome the setbacks conquer what you never thought you could. Although natural talent is helpful, I have seen in my life that hard work and determination leads to success. “Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing It.” by John
