As a child, he loved to read and write books, his mother support, motivate him. She always had the greatest compliments for Lee.

“I probably got myself conference from the fact that my mother said everything I did was brilliant. I always assume I could do anything. It is incredible how much that has to do with your attitude.”

When he was 17 years old, he was hired as an office assistant at timely comics that would later involve into marvel comics. At the start, he had the most mundane job. Like feeling Inkwells, go down and by lunch for everyone, erase pages and proofread. His determination and willingness to do Something in his life was incredible. He always works hard no matter how small it is. Soon he becomes an interim editor for the company. With baby steps, he started his journey to begin building a universe of characters that everybody loves.

His publisher asked Lee to come up with the new superhero. He kept trying again and again. He learnt from each of his failures and went ahead chasing his dreams.

Failure Before Success

Start thinking about a new superhero, one day he saw a fly on the wall and thought what a fantastic thing. It would be if a superhero could stick to walls and crawl on them. And this is how Spiderman was born.

Stan Lee wanted to do Something Different with this character. He wanted the same to create different from the rest. So Lee gave him personal problems and made him a teenager.

He was so excited to share this great idea with his publisher’s office. But the publisher reaction was totally unexpected. They said, “that is the worst idea, have ever heard”, “first of all people hate spider can’t call a book Spider-Man. Secondly, can’t be a teenager, images can be only sidekicks. And third, he can’t have personal problems if he is supposed to be a superhero.” Don’t you know who a superhero is?

Game changer Stan Lee

Stan Lee feels devastated and wanted to quit. But Something incredible happened, Company magazine didn’t sell well it was about to shutdown. They were releasing the last issue for the magazine. Nobody was caring about what would be on the last cover. So Stan Lee stands for the company and put spider Man on the cover.

Just because of the cover of the magazine people started buying the last magazine. People love that character because it was totally inspected character. It became so popular that is publisher fell in love with Spider-Man.

With his powerful imagination and hard work, Stan lee transform marvel comics from a small publishing house to a billion-dollar brand.

So “If you have an idea that you genuinely think it’s good, don’t let some idiot talk you out of it.”

If there is Something that you feel is good Something, that means Something to you, try to do it. Because I think you can only do your best work if you are doing what you want to do.

Whatever you do give it your best shot, you’ll be glad you did it. Never be afraid of failures and always be ready to take risks in life. Failures and struggles are a part of life. What matters the most is how we walk past these with utmost determination and dedication.
