Seeing barrier after barrier, as learning opportunity after learning opportunity, shows immense character and resilience.<br />I read with interest the write up (in chapter 3 of the book) of Thomas Eddison - the invention of the light bulb was not all it seemed! <br />Take a look...<br />JustinAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577855096699927359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515553170474224087.post-23556693937049272022013-06-08T11:45:18.333+01:002013-06-08T11:45:18.333+01:00We shared these with the children during our ARC p...We shared these with the children during our ARC project and it had a big impact on both children and staff:<br /><br /><br />Albert Einstein – Did not speak until the age of four, was considered very slow and anti-social by his parents and teachers and was refused admittance to the Zürich Polytechnic Institute. He never quit and won the Nobel Peace Prize and changed modern physics forever.<br /><br />Michael Jordan – Cut from his high school basketball team but he never have up. He says, " I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”<br /><br />Steven Spielberg - Was rejected from the USC School of Theatre, Film and Television three times.<br />His job at Universal came almost by accident as he jumped from a tour bus and ventured inside one of the buildings on the studio grounds. His enthusiasm made such an impression on one of the workers, they gave him a pass to come back and watch directors at work. Spielberg made a point of being friendly with the security guards on the lot and on the fourth day he just waved rather than displaying his pass. Every day for a summer, he returned to the set, found himself an office and just moved in.<br />Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404034965990526239noreply@blogger.com
