"All kids draw and write poetry and everything, and some of us last until we're about eighteen, but most drop off at about twelve when some guy comes up and says, 'You're no good.' That's all we get told all our lives. 'You haven't got the ability. You're a cobbler.' It happened to all of us, but if somebody had told me all my life, 'Yeah, you're a great artist,' I would have been a more secure person." -- John Lennon (b. 1940-10-09, d. 1980-12-08)

Yeah, it's the same in the adult world. I was told "you're no good" over & over when I was looking for my first career break. I never got that critical "yes", so I gave up on climbing the ladder & learned how to lie on my resumé. THAT worked.
