Failure
One person that comes to mind for succeeding after failure is Soichiro Honda; he had his pistol ring idea rejected and laughed at by Toyota, then ultimately getting a contract with Toyota only to have trouble producing the supplies to build a factory since Japan was gearing up for war. But he didn't give up, he invented a new concrete process to build his own factory but his factories were bombed time after time. With gas in high demand after the war, he produced motocycle and this eventually led to the famous multi-billion dollar company, Honda Motor Company.
While you may not be the not Soichiro Honda, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, or even Michael Jordan, you can come out of failures stronger than ever before.
