This week in our Growth Mindset lunchtime club we have been looking at famous failures. A lot of famous people in the past have been discouraged but then went on to succeed. Here are a few examples:

• Albert Einstein wasn’t able to talk until he was four years old and teachers said that he would never achieve much.
• Walt Disney was fired from his newspaper job for lacking original ideas.
• Lionel Messi was cut from his football team when he was 11 after he found out he had a growth hormone that made smaller than most kids his age.
• Oprah Winfrey was fired from her job as they said she wasn’t fit for television.

And those are just four of millions.

Watch out for our growth mindset celebrity spotter display at reception.
