DAY 144 - It Takes Talent...
...To Spot Talent.
Welcome my wonderful readers!
Today I thought we'd look a little beyond these six simple yet true words. A motto I believe in so much that I placed it on the first page of my autobiography, among the other three that I live by. (To read an excerpt from my life story, click this link, then click Preview below the book cover: http://www.lulu.com/shop/rico-lamoure...)
I've experienced the truth of this motto time after time in my own life, and found it very helpful through the rough patches to learn that I was not alone when it came to struggling to get someone to recognize my talent. Some of the most successful people in the world have had to fight their way through the ignorance of so-called powers-that-be, including...
J.K. Rowling, who's first novel of the Harry Potter series was rejected by twelve different publishers before a contract for it was finally offered. A dozen times! Can you imagine those so-called big wigs throwing away the hundreds of millions of dollars they would have stood to make if only they really had The Talent To Spot Talent?
Walt Disney, who was fired by a Kansas City newspaper because they thought "he lacked creativity."
Boy did he prove those imbeciles wrong!
Star Wars. Both United Artists and Universal passed on the opportunity to produce this film that would end up being one of the most profitable franchises of all time!
So the next time someone rejects your work, just remember, It Takes Talent To Spot Talent!
See you tomorrow:)
