Success is the best revenge

Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5, 1901. His interests in art and drawing were immediately apparent. He began drawing and then selling some of his small sketches to nearby neighbors, at the age of 7, thus starting the beginning of an empire.
While attending McKinley High School in Chicago, he turned his attention to drawing and photography, while contributing to the school paper. At night, he expanded on his drawing abilities by attending the Academy of Fine Arts. It was also apparent that he thoroughly enjoyed nature and wildlife. Encouraged by his mother and brother Roy, he began to develop and nurture even further, his talent for drawing. At one point, Walt was hired to work at the Kansas City Star newspaper. He was later fired from the paper for his “lack of creativity”. 
                Later, he pursued a career in commercial art, specifically, animation. He started producing short films for local businesses in Kansas City, but by the time he created what was known as the “Alice Comedies”, about a live girl in an animated world, his money began to run out and the company he started went bankrupt. But Walt was not deterred. He packed up his works and headed West for Hollywood, determined to start fresh. He was only 21 years old.
               After trials and tribulations, and very little money, Walt’s persistence paid off when his animation skills were picked up by the motion pictureindustry in 1928. Thus, Mickey Mouse was born. Steamboat Willie was the first synchronized sound cartoon. His drive to succeed then propelled him into Technicolor. He held the patent for 2 years while exclusively making and improving color cartoons. 
              Years later, The Walt Disney Company (founded by Walt and Roy) bought ABC which owned The Kansas City Star (company that had fired Walt).
               Now, Here he is. Walt Disney (1901–66) won a total of twenty-sixAcademy Awards (Oscars), and holds the record for most Academy Awards  won by an individual in the history.

Epilogue : Lack of creativity was his failure once. Now, millions of people from around the world are able to enjoy a day or two, act like a kid, whether you are one or not, and realize that there is something to be said for dreaming big and laughing out loud. Not only that, he bought the whole company that had fired him. - which is also an example of 'success as the best revenge'.
