Long, long ago, a man loved singing so much that he kept singing everywhere he goes. Kidding aside, this man really loved to sing. He recorded his songs for his mother and the songs just stayed with his mother.

Not long after, he auditioned for a local quartet, unfortunately he failed and just went home.

"What happened? How did it go son?" asked the father.

"I did not make it. They told me I could not sing." replied the son.

He was basically turned down because his vocals did not bring harmony to the ear of others, basically his singing was so different.

He became a truck driver just so money could be placed in his pocket but he still have singing in his mind. A music company just opened and was looking for a vocalist. This young man did not waste any time and headed straight to the company to audition.

Unfortunately after the audition, he was turned down immediately. He was told to GO BACK BEING A TRUCK DRIVER and he was also given a painful advise:

"Just stick to driving son because you are not going to make it as a singer."

He was under fire, no one at that time liked how he sing. He was rejected, he was ridiculed, turned down, people had a lot of bad things to say about him.

But he did not give up, he kept on doing what he loved and thought right, he just kept on singing and singing and singing until the day came. Someone actually took him as the lead vocalist. And one day, he became who the world knew, ELVIS PRESLEY.

He just ignored all the noise that people was saying against him and he became a huge success.



Are you under fire right now? Are there people who hates you and tells bad things about you because you are doing things that you need to reach your dreams?

IGNORE THE NOISE! If you want to be successful, you don't have to listen to every single person just to please them, specially if that person themselves have not reached success.

Listen to your mentors instead, to people who already reached success and has paid the price. Listen to the people who are already way ahead of you.

Don't try to please everyone because we can't. Just like Elvis Presley, if he had listened to the advise and just went back to truck driving, he would not have reached this much success, even after death.

Keep doing the right thing. You will be successful!



God bless you!
