1. Walt Disney:



Walter Elias “Walt” Disney, who was famously known as Walt Disney was born in the year 1901 in Chicago, Illinois, United States.  This guy who wanted to become an animator, was fired from Kansas City Star, a newspaper agency, as his editor blamed that he lacked the skill of imagining things and he also had no good ideas. That was not the last failure he faced in his career path because as soon as he was fired from Kansas City Star, he acquired an animation studio named Laugh-O-Gram and employed large number of animators to work. But unfortunately he failed here also, because the studio’s profit was insufficient to pay the employees with higher salaries.

Finally, as the studio remained unable to manage the money successfully; Walt Disney was loaded with huge debts which forced him to drive it towards bankruptcy. Finally, after all these hardships, he set his sight towards the most profitable field, Hollywood, by setting up a studio in movie industry’s capital city, Hollywood, California.  Later, he became rich and famous by producing large number of successful cartoon series along with his brother through his production house named “Walt Disney Productions”.
