BE ENCOURAGED
8/4/2009 8:42:13 PM
Hello Friends, "To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing." - Elbert Hubbard How many times have you been discouraged because someone else did not see the brilliance of what you created, thought of, or wanted to do? How many times have you walked away from something because you decided it wasn't a good idea, too? Today, be encouraged that many of the world's greatest accomplishments happened amidst great criticism, skepticism and doubt. You can make your dreams come true - listen to your inner voice and ignore the outside critics. Did you know: The movie Star Wars was rejected by every movie studio in Hollywood before 20th Century Fox finally produced it. It went on to be one of the largest-grossing movies in film history. As a child, Sylvester Stallone was frequently beaten by his father and told he had no brains. He grew up an unhappy loner. He floated in and out of schools. An advisor at Drexel University told him that based on his aptitude tests he should pursue a career as an elevator repair person. It's not a bad profession but it's certainly not where "Rocky" ended up! Einstein was criticized for not wearing socks or cutting his hair. He didn't speak until he was four, and didn't read until he was seven. One observer noted, "He could be mentally retarded." An expert said of Vince Lombardi: "He possesses minimal football knowledge. Lacks motivation." Beethoven handled the violin awkwardly and preferred playing his own compositions instead of improving his technique. His teacher proclaimed him hopeless as a composer. Walt Disney was fired from his job as a newspaper editor for lack of ideas. He also went bankrupt several times before he created Disneyland. Henry Ford failed and went broke 5 times before he finally succeeded. Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women, was encouraged to find work as a servant or seamstress. She would certainly never be a writer. In 1944, the director of the Blue Book Modeling Agency, told modeling hopeful Norma Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe), "You'd better learn secretarial work, or else get married." So… what are your ideas? Your thoughts? Your dreams? Who cares if anyone supports what you want to do? The important thing is for YOU to believe. For YOU to ignore the people who say you can't do it – and DO IT ANYWAY! It takes courage. It takes persistence. It takes believing in the "voice inside" when no one else does. Ideas, dreams and visions are planted within you because you have the ability to make them happen. You'll learn, grow, scramble, fail, and get back up again! The important thing is to simply never give up. The people I told you about never did – and they made great things happen! And so can you! Kathy Hamilton http://simikathy2.adzzoo.net

Great Kathy, but what does Kathy Hamilton do?  If I may here some constructive critsm Kathy.  Emphisize the Deed, not the doer. Emphasize the doing, and the joy of doing. Emphasize the good part of what you did. And by all means avoid saying "don't" Stress the positive. One mans riches is another mans folly, not everyone is Kathy Hamilton or Thomas Richmond, you got a good heart Kathy but using other peoples accomplishments for your own doing is wrong. If these people of the past have done the same as you? then thats ok, let them write a testimonial about it. see what im saying?

I hope i didn't bend your ear to far Angel.

God_bless you.
