NEVER, NEVER FACE FACTS!!!
A feisty little lady who spent over
70 years in show business as an actor, writer, producer and director at the
highest levels of the industry. Her name is Miss Ruth Gordon. The
advice?
NEVER, NEVER FACE FACTS!!!
What's the difference between these actors who have, in one way or another
achieved the dream and all the never were's? What is the secret?
To borrow from another industry...what are the three most crucial words in
an acting career? "Persistence, persistence and persistence!!"
In order to persist....simply ignore everything that might convince you that
persistence won't work! Or to quote the sweet Ms. Gordon.....NEVER face the "facts!"
Remember also that luck is simply what happens when preparation meets opportunity!
Or my personal favorite: "Opportunity is missed by most folks...because it dresses in
overalls and looks like work!"
So do your homework, dream big, work hard, learn all you can, be
persistent and Never, never, under ANY conditions, face facts!!
