"[A true story - with a message about persisting past discouragement, rejection, criticism and other negatives - regardless of who the negatives come from whether from so-called authorities or those we are close to and care about and - regardless of what area of life whether it is in science, study, investing, business, inventing, sales, friendship, love, writing, etc. Perusing the biographies of successes will show that this trait is necessary. The following success is just one example of a writer-author:] AYN RAND: Her manuscript for 'The Fountainhead' was rejected by twelve publishers. One publisher who rejected the novel reportedly wrote: It is badly written and the hero is unsympathetic. Another supposedly said: I wish there were an audience for a book of this kind. But there isn't. It won't sell. Eventually the manuscript was seen by a young editor, Archibald Ogden, at the Bobbs-Merrill Company. He risked his job to get it published in 1943. Despite mixed reviews from the contemporary media, the book gained a following by word of mouth and became a bestseller, with more than 6.5 million copies sold. "
