His failures made him successful
There was a boy named sparky who only faced failure in every work he did. Everyone treated him like a loser. He was not good at his studies. He got bad marks in every subject. He failed the 8th grade in all subjects. He once tried his luck in football but his team lost the championship due to him. The only thing he could do well was drawing. He used to draw funny cartoons and showed them to others.
Sparky thought of submitting his drawings to the school's yearly magazine. He worked very hard and made some drawings. But he was rejected there also. Then after some days, he saw an ad for learning graphic design. He submitted one of his school drawings there and he was fortunately accepted there to learn. Sparky worked hard to learn cartooning as he was an only child, his parents decided to pay a high tuition fee of course. Sparky passed the Art Instruction School course.
Sparky now applied to Walt Disney Art Studios. He wanted to make cartoons for Disney and was confident that he will not be rejected this time. Sparky submitted his cartoon but he was rejected again and he was not even admitted to the school. He failed again. Because of his failures, he was sent to work for the army. During World War 2, he only had one opportunity to fire his machine gun but forgot to load it. He was able to save his life because the german soldier he was firing surrendered.
Now sparky started making a comic strip. He decided to tell his own story through comics. The main character in the comic strip was a loser boy who failed in everything he tried. He tried to published his story in a local newspaper and gave money for publishing it. After some time his comic started getting popular. Now newspaper asked him to make more comics. His comics became so popular that it published daily from October 1950 to January 2000.
Sparky the man who never gave up after failing so many times was Charles M. Schulz and the World famous comic name is Peanuts. Peanuts ran in over 2,600 newspapers, with a readership of 355 million in 75 countries, and was translated into 21 languages.
