-I ruined my life,
alienated the people in it, and now I am lost? Let me tell you a
story. So there was this guy. He was maybe a few years older than
you. He was a tough guy. Thought he knew it all. So he sat down
and wrote a story, a killer story, and the whole literary world
agreed-- this guy knew it all. They even called him the New
Salinger. So he bought the BS. And then, he started to p.iss of
everybody that he cared about. He was a writer of his own ruin
because he thought he could do no wrong until he wrote his second
novel. And then, he was torn apart, lambasted as a one-hit
wonder. Some critics even questioned if the same guy wrote both
books. So you know what he did?
-What?
-He quit. He gave up because despite knowing it all, he
wasn't a tough guy. He even changed his name after he let the
critics destroy him. And the day he decided to take his head out
of his a.ss, he did the best thing he could...
-...He became a teacher.
-Yes. Because he wanted to teach kids with talent how to face
criticism and discover that success isn't about winning.
It's about staying in the game, not quitting, or letting
someone make you quit.
