    Daily Facts® : WALT DISNEY In 1928 a 26-year-old was traveling by train home from New York to Kansas. During the journey he had an idea that would forever change his life and that of several generations of children and adults forever. This young artist had been fired from the newspaper he worked for, the Kansas City Star, for a lack of imagination and creativity and, in 1923, at just 22 years old, had declared bankruptcy following the failure of an animation series. On that train ride, he drew a sketch of a mouse in his notebook and believed that the mouse would have the potential needed to become a success. He decided to use it in a new technique that was beginning to emerge in new types of movies, which was known as "animation". Until then cartoons were dumb, but he dreamed of turning his mouse into the first sound cartoon in history. But to do it he needed $15,000 (current $1,000,000), so he decided to ask for a credit from his bank, which sent him for a ride... Convinced his idea would work went bank-to-bank, rejection after rejection, until one agreed. It was the 305th bank I had resorted to. But when he tried to get Metro Goldwin Meyer to distribute his movie about that cute little mouse, he was told it wouldn't work, because a giant mouse would scare women and no one would want to see it. When he had prepared one of his best films, in 1937, he did a pre-release in front of college students, but half of them left, causing him disappointment. Then he learned they had left because they had to meet the check-in time at his university residence. That persevering young man was named Walter Elias Disney. The movie that college students left unfinished was Snow White and the Mouse he had drawn on that train he called Mortimer, would end up being known as "Mickey Mouse," a character who would change the world. Disney created more than 81 movies and some of the most popular animated characters of all time. During his lifetime he received more than 950 recognitions, won 22 Oscars and was awarded 4 honorary awards. About their "failures," Disney said, "All the adversity, problems and obstacles I've had have made me stronger." "You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing to happen to you." When you want and have Faith in a project well it's worth the risk. Picture Credit : Unknown
