Famous Failures: The Game of Persistence
* Economy shipping to contiguous USA only.
This fun card game (think "Go Fish" on steroids) that teaches lessons of overcoming failure, and the value of persistence in success. While playing a fun card game, you will learn little known facts about many of the most successful heroes from current times and history. The lesson in this game is that there is no shortcut to achieving your dreams & goals. Even the most famous and successful people you can think of have endured many failures and setbacks throughout their life.
What sets them apart is largely their resilience, their understanding that failure and disappointment is normal, and the will to continue. This game teaches that you are much more like these outstanding people than you might realize. Everyone from Walt Disney, to The Beatles, to Jerry Seinfeld and Mark Cuban have been rejected, ridiculed, and laughed at, but they kept going.
Did you realize that Ellen DeGeneres ate canned soup daily when she was broke and had no kitchen? What about J.K. Rowling writing her famous books from a cafe when she was a single mom on welfare? How about the time Sir Richard Branson spent a night in jail for tax evasion? He was released and given 2 years to pay £60,000 or face arrest and trial. How’s that for some motivation?!
Get this game so your friends, family, students, coworkers, etc can learn the value of hard work, persistence, and focusing on their hopes and dreams, rather than problems and setbacks. Get your mindset for success and achievement, better understanding what to expect on your journey.
