Don't get discouraged...

Don't get discouraged by the naysayers reaction on your life goals. Many veterans were turned down for their vision. Here are few cases to the point :

1. Walt Disney was told he " lack imagination " by his boss. I mean really? His first cartoon "Oswald" was illicitly taken by the company he worked for and which later exonerated him from his job.
   

2. Wright brothers( Not engineers, by the way) were the first in the history of mankind to fly a plane despite facing skepticism and criticism.

3. Nike founder, Phil knight was told by many of his allies that he's having a "crazy idea " and that " it won't fly ". Phil knight is a kind of man who flew to Japan all alone and made a deal for his non-existent company which he named "the blue ribbon".
   

1. Apple founder, Steve jobs who was a man with an eye-for-precision and attention-to-details . He was fired from his own company. He was a man who was so crazy about designs that even in the operation-theatre he started on nurse to bring 10 different types of mask designs, out of which he will select the best one he will wear.
   

2. Pixar founder, Ed Catmull told his idea of making a computer animated movies was a complete hogwash. Later with team effort, they at Pixar developed a CAPR s/w which in later years made it's deal with Disney successful.
   There are many more innovators whose ideas were rubbished before but they didn't gave ears to the criticism thrown to them during early years of their career.
