There are endless examples of how a disadvantage, improbability, or little chance can help fuel a drive for success and opportunity. For example, Albert Einstein didn’t speak until he was four. But he persevered and eventually developed the theory of relativity, a view of gravity. Or Benjamin Franklin, who dropped out of school at age ten, taught himself by reading and eventually invented the lightning rod and bifocals. Or novelist Stephen King, whose first novel was rejected 30 times, sold over 350 million copies of his books, many of which have been made into major motion pictures.
