Funny stuff.

1. Walt Disney: Today Disney rakes in billions from merchandise, movies and theme parks around the world, but Walt Disney himself had a bit of a rough start. He was fired by a newspaper editor because, "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." After that, Disney started a number of businesses that didn't last too long and ended with bankruptcy and failure. He kept plugging along, however, and eventually found a recipe for success that worked.

funny this was posted, I just watched "the social network" finally and holy crap, now that's a success story. Although I must say, Zuckerberg is a bit of a dick, to try and screw your friend like that. Just goes to show you that no matter who they seem, go into business with a friend you have to protect yourself......

One of the best lines though:

Just because you make a chair, does everyone else who makes a chair have to pay you because "it was your idea".........
