Truth About Rejections - Tim Ferris

I think failure would be a big piece, even though I view failure differently than I think many people. I view it as a feedback mechanism. But if you look at even, let's say the four hour workweek didn't start off called the four hour workweek, it was also turned down by 26 out of 27 publishers. And hopefully, pretty soon it'll be celebrating four years unbroken on the New York Times best seller list. And whenever possible, illustrate those failures, because everyone will face failure or mistakes, and those are the divergent points from which they can either go in a good direction or a bad direction. And I want to illustrate that oftentimes the finish line is only 100ft from where you stand, but it might seem that it's 100 miles away.
