"You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take." - A. Friend
Remember:
A multitude of failure comes before every great success. For example, take these great failures:
- Beethoven's teacher called him hopeless as a composer because he'd play his own compositions rather than improve his technique plus he handled the violn most awkardly.
- Famous opera singer, Enrico Caruso's parents had dreams their son would be an engineer because the boy's music teacher told them he could not sing and had no voice at all.
- Mama Streisand said her daughter, Barbra, was ugly and therefore, would never become a star.
- 100 agents refused Sylvester Stallone when he wrote ROCKY and planned to star in the film too. Finally, Sly's script was picked-up by a producer who agreed to produce it as long as Stallone didn't appear in the film. Sylvester Stallone, is one of Hollywood's brightest and highest paid stars/actors today simply because he was willing to stick to his goals.
- After going broke and failing five times, Henry Ford, finally succeeded with his little automobile.
- Teachers of Tom Edison felt he was too stupid to learn anything.
- The "Home-Run King", Babe Ruth, was once known as the "Strike-Out King", too.
- Albert Einstein's teachers described him as, "mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in his foolish dreams"! because he did not speak until he was 4 years old and couldn't read until he was seven years old. He was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic School.
- Richard Hooker, published M*A*S*H* himself after he was rejected by 21 publishers. Hooker's runaway bestseller, prompted the record breaking film and later inspired one of the most successful shows in television history.
- A newspaper editor fired Walt Disney because he felt Walt just didn't have enough creative ideas. Plus, over 70 banks turned Disney and "Disneyland" down because they thought the idea would never, never work.
- Anything is possible if only you believe.
