The Road to Greatness

Pic greatness just ahead

I wish I could point you to THE one road that leads to greatness.  Unfortunately it does not exist.

OR, perhaps it does – disguised somehow.  Consider this.

~Walt Disney was once told a mouse would never work.

~J K Rowling was on welfare while writing her first Harry Potter book.

~Oprah Winfrey was told she was ‘unfit for TV.’

~Jerry Seinfeld was booed off stage early on in his career.

~Stephen King received thirty rejection slips for his script Carrie.

The moral of this story – maybe the road to greatness is found in the seeds of disaster and failure and rejection.

I see a correlation here.
