That’s the nature of any creative activity — you’re mostly going to be rejected.

The New Yorker’s Bob Mankoff at a recent TED salon. When Mankoff quit psychology school in 1997 to become a cartoonist, he submitted 2,000 cartoons to the New Yorker that year. Of them, 2,000 were rejected. Today, he is the magazine’s cartoon editor.

Pair with the fantastic Fail Safe and Ray Bradbury’s advice on perseverance in the face of rejection.

And this is why we should celebrate each other’s failures, not meanly, but with the notion that it’s another step taken, and another step closer. 

The way we dismiss people, sometimes gleefully, for “only” having all the small successes that exist on the road towards the really really big goals enrages me. 

Are you making shit?  Well then there’s no only about it.

nothing grape flavored is flavored like grapes it’s just flavored like other grape flavored things and this is why I have trust issues

FUN FACT: Grape artificial flavor was the first artificial flavor created, by accident. That means that some guy decided, “Whoa, this smells a lot like grapes,” and now everyone pretends it’s grape-y, too…

It tastes like an accident
