"Don't you know that every kick is a boost?" <- what Rue McClanahan's (Blanche Devereaux on Golden Girls) mother said after Rue was told she would never work on television. Golden Girls, of course, went on to win numerous awards and continues to play on television 40 years later. What is the lesson from this? One takeaway for me is that someone else's opinion of your capabilities is not prophetic. You CAN be successful regardless of others' opinions. Secondly, rejection and setbacks are an inevitable part of your career journey. Use these setbacks as springboards to take you to greater heights. Lastly, may we all do our best to give more boosts. Hopefully, without the kicks included. You can see the full speech here: https://lnkd.in/gz-bsF9g
