Successful people who failed at their first try? An inspiring list of failures

What I don't like about those who glorify failure is that they treat them as some sort of prerequisite to success.

Fail first before you succeed right? Wrong. I'm sure we all know of people who succeeded on their first try.

While I support the notion of persevering through failures that will eventually lead to success. Expecting failure at your first try is just wrong and might discourage people from even trying.
