During the Second World War, author and correspondent, Eric Sevareid was forced to parachute from a damaged transport plane into the jungle on the Burma-India border. Sevareid and the other survivors knew that any rescue attempt would take several weeks so they had no option but to start walking.

For some, reading other people’s success stories could just be frustrating. I can understand that reading about how successful others are whilst you’re working your butt off and getting nowhere can be fairly annoying. However, for others who are determined to do whatever they have to in order to get where they want to be, success stories can be quite inspiring and motivating. There’s some great stories out there, from the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, 50 Cent, Richard Branson and so on.
