All remarkable work is criticized at first. Great work is shunned. Real art and the creators of it are always castigated by the naysayers when their work is first shipped.
Those who are now famous, successful or just plain happy with their lives are so because they didn’t wait to be told they were great.
They kept performing after being boo’d off stage, they kept creating after one art gallery said their art wasn’t good enough, they kept brewing even after one beer connoisseur sent a video of them dumping the brewery’s beer down the drain.
These moments suck, but why let anyone stop you from doing your best again and again?
Perhaps, next time you’ll do even better. In fact, it’s certain you will.
Stay Positive & Ignore The Naysayers
