Sometimes you may have something that you know is gold but everyone else thinks it's not. If you believe in what you have strongly enough, it is your duty to bring it into the world.
The Harry Potter series has sold over 400 million copies. If you count the series as 1 book, it is the third most popular book of all time (#1 is the bible - and #2 is required reading for every Chinese citizen).
Despite that, guess how many publishers turned the book down?
The answer is 12, and even then, the publisher told the author "Don't quit your day job".
How can the most popular series of all time be turned down by 12 publishers?
Think about that next time you are feeling down on yourself.
Keep on keeping on!
