The bankrupt may find fame; we know at least one by name: Disney. Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because, "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." After several failed businesses and bankruptcy, his theme parks, movies and merchandise earn billions each year. December 24, 2018, entered in Silent One's Winners and Losers Monoku Contest

Good one Janice, sometimes people just need a little push and loads of inspiration and encouragement, and voila, you become famous. We are not all made to work behind a desk inside giant corporations. Really enjoyed. Love and poetry wishes for 2019.

Gee, I didn't know this about Disney. Can you imagine someone telling him he had "no good ideas"? Kind of makes the rest of us feel better about our little losses along the way. Excellent Monoku! Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn
