Try this quiz on the failures that very successful people experienced early in their careers. I think it's interesting.

Interesting. Is there another quiz on the failures of very successful people later in their careers?

I don't know, but there's a book that came out a few years ago called "We Got Fired! And It's the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Us." It has the stories of famous, successful people and how getting fired from some job had a positive effect on each one's life.
