Give up or GoPro
American businessman Nick Woodman wasn’t always a businessman; he was a B-grade university student with a passion for surfing that saw his grades remain average, but it was his commitment to overcome failure that saw him create the world’s most recognisable wearable camera, the GoPro, on the back of two failed and unrecognisable online startups; EmpowerAll.com (an e-commerce site selling cheap electronics, and the online marketing business, FunBug). After losing nearly $4 million investors’ dollars, Nick’s faith in his entrepreneurial ability was shaken, but not stifled. As Hongkiat tells, he picked himself up and went on a surf trip to clear his head; a move that ended up making him one of the youngest billionaires in the world.
Dhirubhai Ambani
My first inspiration is Dhirubhai Ambani. One of the famous and richest Indian businessmen who is an inspiration for everyone.
Dhirubhai was born in Gujarat on December 28, 1932. His father was a school teacher. He started his business career by selling snacks to pilgrims over the weekends.
After he completed his matriculation he moved to Aden, Yemen. He was just 16 and he worked as a gas station attendant and as a clerk in an oil company.
In 1958 he came back to India with Rs 50,000 and went on to start a textile trading company.
His two sons Mukesh and Anil helped him in building India’s largest private sector company called Reliance India Limited. At that time his core business was petrochemicals and later on diversified into telecommunications, energy, retail, textiles etc.
In 1992, reliance became first private company to raise money in the global markets. Reliance was included in the Forbes 500 list. Dhirubhai Ambani died in the year 2002 leaving his entire company on the shoulders of his two sons.
Today reliance worth more than $50 billion company combining wealth of two sons.

2. Govind Jaiswal(IAS)
My second motivational story is about a man who is not known to general public. No one knows about them because he is not a celebrity or a guy who is good looking.
His name is Govind Jaiswal. He ranked 48 among 474 successful candidates in the first attempt of civil service exam. His dream of becoming an IAS officer has come true.
Govind is just 24 years old, son of a rickshaw puller who hails from Varanasi. He lived in a poor locality with no basic facilities. He studied with cotton stuffed in his ears to lessen the noise printing machines and generators going inside his years.
His sick father has to sell small plot of land to give Govind Rs 40,000/- so that he could go to Delhi and study there in a better environment.
After hard work of years and years he finally succeeded and his dream of becoming an IAS officer came true. He gave this news to his father and three sisters, they burst into tears.
The happiness on their face cannot be expressed in words.
Govind Jaiswal son of a rickshaw puller became an IAS officer is an evergreen inspirational story. Students who are looking for Sarkari Naukri must inspire from this man.

Forever Striving
When Do Won Chang moved from Korea to the USA in 1981 he maintained three jobs to support himself and his wife, Jin Sook. The then janitor, petrol station attendant and coffee shop worker saved his pennies to open a humble clothing store in 1984. That clothing store grew into the multi-national retail giant today known as Forever 21. With more than 600 stores in 2015 turning over approximately $4.4 billion in annual sales, the couple have had to recruit the help of their two daughters Linda and Esther.
