Here are some famous examples of turning failure into triumph:Michael Jordan -- The greatest basketball player of all time was actually cut from his high school basketball team as a 10th grader.

Sly Stallone -- As a kid, Sylvester Stallone was teased because of his Looney Tunes associated name, and his crooked eye, drooping lower lip and slurred speech. Of course all those characteristics helped him create one of the most inspirational characters in movie history: ROCKY!"Conflict is the primary engine of growth and creativity." Ronald Heifetz

Abraham Lincoln -- Lincoln failed as a businessman, failed as a farmer, failed in his first campaign to go to Congress, failed in his first campaign for Senate...yet he went on to become one of the great Americans of all time."...it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for." - Paulo Coelho
