“Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.” – Winston Churchill

The power of imagination, motivation and perseverance allowed this young 9 year old boy named Caine who loved arcade games to turn his dreams into reality: He created his own elaborate arcade using cardboard, scissors and tape from his dad’s used car parts store. The inspirational video is after the break.

We all have vivid imaginations since we were young, just imagine all the cool interesting things you built using lego or mega blocks, or the food you made with those toy kitchen appliances.

He wanted a claw machine, and asked his dad to buy him one. His dad said “why don’t you just build one”? So he did, with a string and a hook.

Caine used his toys as prizes and made tickets which could be redeemed for prizes.

Every weekend during the summer, he would wait in front of his dad’s store, and hoped that someone would play his arcade games. But because most of his father’s used car parts business had gone online, there was hardly any foot traffic Caine could approach to convince people to play his arcade games. But that didn’t stop him. Despite having no customers, he never gave up.

And one day, he got his first customer. Nirvan. It only every takes one customer. This one customer say the motivation in Caine, and how he persevered every weekend to make his dreams a reality, which was to have people play his arcade games.

Spend 11 minutes, and watch the video below. I hope stories like these can encourage people to do what they believe in, and keeping doing what you love, that will eventually become success. For every story you give me about failure, I can give you inspirational and motivational stories of success. Because with every failure, there will be eventual success if you are looking for it.
