Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - March 20th


If you don’t give up on something you truly believe in, you will find a way. ― Roy T. Bennett

Don't give up too soon. If you persevere you will succeed. ― Lailah Gifty Akita

Don't give up your greatness because of someone's cynicism or narrowness of mind. ― Debasish Mridha  

Don't give up on yourself. Leave that for the other people. ― Anthony T.Hincks

You have to dig deep for success. Often that means you have to keep digging beyond failures. Don't give up. ― Akiroq Brost

Recently, I was reading an article about how various successful people were told at one time in their life that they would never make it.  Here are a few interesting points that I read:

·       Thomas Edison was told by teachers that he was “Too stupid to learn anything”.

·       Oprah was fired from a television reporting job because she was “Unfit for tv”.

·       Fred Astaire performed in his first screen test and the MGM screen director wrote down, “Can’t act. Can’t sing. Slightly bald. Can dance a little.”

·       Sidney Poitier was told by a casting director after his first audition “Why don’t you stop wasting people’s time and go out and become a dishwasher or something?”

·       Lucille Ball was told she would never be an actress and that she should try a different profession. 

·       Theodor Seuss Giesel, which is the author of “The Cat in the Hat” and “Green Eggs and Ham”, was first rejected by 27 different publishers for his first book titled “To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street”.

Challenge:  Remember the dreams you have.  Focus on them.  Keep pushing forward AND BE CAREFUL WHO YOU LISTEN TO!
