My name is Tom Callin and I am the sales coordinator for Writers Depository. And long ago I FORGOT THE MEANING OF THE WORD NO.
We hear the word NO all the time, don't we? No, you can't do it. No, I don't want it. No, don't touch me there. No, we said no! You know what I say to those people that say no? NO!! Meaning no, I am not going to let your PESSIMISTIC attitude sway me. You're not going to stomp all over my dreams. You're not going to hurt me. You're not going to discourage me. You are NOT going to mangle my professional ambitions because I do not fit into your plans.
Winners never quit.
Never.
Winners win. I think it's safe to say that real winners do not know the meaning of the word QUIT. If they did, they wouldn't WIN. If winners actually sat around and thought things through you know what? They might quit. They might find reason to just GIVE UP!!
But a winner doesn't think that way. I don't think that way. I don't think. I DO. I accomplish. I achieve my vision.
To be honest, I wasn't always a winner. Some people actually considered me a loser in high school. I was going nowhere fast. I couldn't get girls. I had no job prospects. I was failing my classes. I was questioning my sexuality. I was addicted to drugs. (legal drugs by prescription only) I was even thinking of joining the army which is like just saying, you know what, I GIVE UP! I'm ready to go die in Iraq. Send me to die, Mr. Bush!
But then I started thinking. You know, there's a reason why I'm still alive. I have a destiny to fulfill. And by God, I am not going to quit. Quitting when you know you have a destiny is like saying, screw you God. Screw your almighty plans. I'd rather quit. Be nothing. Nah nah. Not me. I am going to WIN. Now look at me. I'm the sales coordinator for a major Internet company. All because I dared to dream
