It happens all the time! We hear the word "No". It's even one of the first words we learn as children. No! You can't have any candy. You'll spoil your dinner. However no doesn't always mean no! As was mentioned in the previous post I am a writer.
As such one of the first things you get when you contact literary agents is the literary equivalency of the word "No". No we are not interested in your literary work! I received a rejection letter just the other day! If you can't take rejection there are definitely certain professions you shouldn't go into. Writing, Modeling, Dancing and Sales are just a few of the fields you will definitely hear the word "No".
The funny thing is as any good dancer will tell you, you can go to one cattle call( a term used when dancers gather for auditions) and be rejected because your too tall or short and go to the next and be chosen because you are the perfect size.
Yes skill and talent are all important factors, but there are other factors that can play into the mix that you have little or no control over. The thing to remember is to keep a watchful eye out for honest criticism (when it’s available) and to be sure of your product, talent, ability or whatever applies to the situation. In the next segment find out how you are a lot like the judges on American Idol!

Tired of running into a brick wall with your problems?
You've been running into a brick wall with your problems and your at your wits end! Sound familiar? The purpose of this blog is to make people aware of affordable alternatives to a number of issues, problems, lifestyles, and events in their lives. Are they the only options? Not necessarily but, the attempt of this blog is to provide you with a possible alternate you haven't thought of.The newest answer isn't always the best answer. Example: The Electric Car- Many people think that this is a technology of the future. The one of the first mass marketed electric cars was the "Baker Electric". Also in the seventies the "Citicar" and the "Commutacar " were the hope for a cleaner world. (Pictured here!) 
It is also important to note that there will be notations of intrest with regards to sources of information when available! You will have the ability to offer topical questions so your questions can be addressed by this Blog's readers, and also a comment section to provide readers your opinions as well.
One of the methods of examination of a particular subject is for this blog to play Devil's Advocate! It is important to note that no affiliations will be adhered to!
Example: If you say man was not meant to fly? This blog will offer reasons for flight! This is done for the purpose of examination not to convert you into a frequent flyer.
Lastly, while it is always the goal of this site to be accurate, informative, entertaining , and fun, those who contribute to it are human and therefore falliable. Whenever a mistake is made and discovered, a correction will be posted!
