I had a teacher who said something great. That was, 'Go out and collect your nos. Once you get fifty nos then you can start wondering when you can get a yes.'

So, every time you go in there, just go in there and be consistent, and eventually it will get noticed and someone will hire you.'

The only thing I'll say, and I'm sure everyone says this, is stick with it. I'm not shy about telling people about the fact that my dream was to go to USC film school when I was growing up in New Jersey. I got rejected five times. You just keep going, keep going, keep going.

Never give up on what you really want to do

You've got to be in a determined state in order to succeed.

Life will get in the way. Count on it. Be prepared for it. Maintain focus and press on towards your goal.

But for those people who might give up: Get real about what you want and go after it.

Remember to always dream. More importantly, work hard to make those dreams come true and never give up.

I will! I am! I can! I will actualize my dream. I will press ahead. I will settle down and see it through. I will solve the problems. I will pay the price. I will never walk away from my dream until I see my dream walk away: Alert! Alive! Achieved!

To make a great dream come true, the first requirement is a great capacity to dream; the second is persistence.
