There was once this skinny 23-year old musician who got booed off the stage by a crowd at a rock concert in Los Angeles. He only got through three songs.
Less than 23 years later, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His name was Prince.

There were once these two guys who tried their luck at acting. They weren't considered any good - they were voted "least likely to succeed" in their acting school.
These guys later won two Academy Awards each. We know these "losers" as Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman.

And there was this young singer who was struggling to get her career started in post-Motown Detroit. Her band got dropped because their label didn't think she had star potential. A record exec told her she couldn't sing.
Since then, she won 8 Grammies. Her name is Anita Baker.

The point is, don't ever base your opinion of your potential or your ability because of what other people tell you.
One more story - there was once this three year-old startup company that got a meeting with executives from a much more powerful company. And they offered to sell their little company to the big guys for $50 million. And they basically got laughed out of the room.
The company that laughed at the little guys was Blockbuster. And the little guys were called Netflix.
Needless to say, the Blockbuster execs aren't laughing anymore.
