Failure is not the opposite of success, it is a part of success. Life is full of numerous hardships. It is all about the ups and the downs. But the only thing that matters is how you treat your downs! At some point in our life, we all have faced rejections. There are two types of people, the first half sees rejections as a warning or a stop sign but the second half sees rejection as a part of life or as an obstacle which can be overcome.

Your favourite celebrities who have reached milestones with their efforts and determination have also struggled but they belong to the ‘second half’. Life has not been a piece of cake for them too! Let us look at some of the celebrities who have made it this far despite all the difficulties.
