Great examples for sticking to your goals/dream

In a recent magazine I found the following rather humorous. It's another example of people who keep going regardless of what other people may think, say or do.   You go for your dream because you think and believe you can make it happen.  
 
Enthusiastically,

Our Heroes Are Failures Too 
 
After dropping out of college, pop start Madonna took a job at Dunkin' Donuts - only to be fired for spilling jelly on a customer.
 
Before I Love Lucy, Lucille Ball's drama instructor told her to find another profession.
 
Decca Records rejected The Beatles in 1962, telling them that guitar groups were on the way out.
 
It took the Wright Brothers almost six years of failed attempts before they perfected their design for the first practical airplane.
 
After auditioning to sing at a club in 1954, Elvis Presley, the King of Rock 'N' Roll, was told to stick to truck driving because he'd never make it as a singer.
 
9,000 is the approximate number of shots basketball legend Michael Jordan missed.
 
300 is the approximate number of venture capitalists that rejected Pandora.
