1. Bill Gates (determination) Microsoft

 Before Microsoft became a success in the 1980s, co-founder Bill Gates struggled with
self-confidence and actually feared that his business would be a bust, he told students
during a Q&A at Harvard last month. “Even the idea that Microsoft would be a big
company, I never would admit that to myself,” Gates said.
 Gates was an introvert, even, he has said, antisocial, and his original plan was to teach
math. “When I was in high school, I thought, ‘Hey, I’m a good student and therefore I
should go be like a professor of mathematics,’” Gates said. The academic discipline,
Gates thought, also had “a certain purity to it,” which he found alluring: Math problems,
he said, “are the hardest problems to solve, and you know I like hard problems.”
 Until his old friend and future business partner Paul Allen convinced him to seriously
pursue computer programming, Gates wasn’t planning for a career in tech or business.
Instead, Allen challenged him to leave his comfort zone — in more ways than one.

2. J.K. Rowling (passionate) Harry potter

Finishing the book was only the beginning. Rowling now had a novel, but she needed a
publisher. Her first attempt ended in rejection, as did the second and third. The belief that
she had a story people would read, despite what publishers were telling her, kept her going.
She submitted to a fourth, fifth, and sixth publisher, only to receive negative responses. 

It took an alleged thirteen tries for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone to gain acceptance
from a publisher. The Sorcerer’s Stone hit shelves on July 26, 1997, to immediate success.
Overnight, Rowling was catapulted from her small apartment in Edinburgh to worldwide
recognition.

3. Richard Brown (optimistic) Virgin

 When Richard was eleven, he decided to start his own business. Together with his
childhood friend, Nik Powell, they started breeding budgerigars venture. That was a true
bonanza. Richard’s father built an aviary for them, and the budgerigars began
multiplying quicker than the young entrepreneurs could sell them. By the end of school
holidays, Richard and Nik managed to sell many birds to the local children. Soon, they
went back off to boarding school, and Richard’s parents had to take care of them. Later
his mother wrote him a letter informing that rats had eaten some birds. As for the rest,
she just opened a cage and let them go, because budgerigars were too loud. Richard
was not disappointed, on the contrary, he was jubilant as it was his truly professional
job.

4. Steve Jobs (innovative) Apple

 Steve Jobs was an innovator. He didn’t invent the technological advances that went into
his products, but he found ways to use the inventions of others to bring products to
market that consumers wanted, and his entrepreneurial innovation resulted in benefits
for everyone. That’s how Apple came to place
5. Walt Disney (Motivation) Disney
 Walt Disney returned home when he was seventeen and told his parents that he
was going to be an artist. His father didn't tolerate Walt’s decision and discouraged
him greatly from becoming an artist. His father wanted him to join the family
business of making jelly. Walt then applied for the Kansas City Art Institute and he
was accepted. After college he found a job in   city, he landed a job at Gray’s
Advertising Company. After the Christmas rush at Gray’s Advertising Company, Walt
Disney was fired. Walt Disney then met Ub Iwerks who also was fired from the same
company. They worked as a team for the rest of their lives.

 Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks decided to team up and make their own advertising
studio. Walt and Ub tried to sell their cartoons to theaters but the theater owners
didn’t believe they had future potential with their cartoons. Walt was determined to
sell his cartoons to a theater.  Finally, a theater in New York decided to let them
present their cartoons to the public.  However, the theater did not pay Walt and Ub
for the work they did. A guy named Charles Mintz suggested a change in direction to
keep his animated shorts fresh. Universal Studios was looking for a cartoon series
featuring a rabbit named Oswald and Mintz suggested Walt Disney. This is when
Walt's leadership came out and helped Ub and himself in life to finish pursuing his
dream of making an animation studio.
