I doubt few if any of the people that we think of as icons today had the fortune of being immediately accepted. Elvis was rejected by nearly everone, JK Rowlin

Elvis was rejected by nearly everone, JK Rowling's Harry Potter was rejected by a slew of publishers.. basically everyone who is currently famous has these stories, and often many of them.
The lesson though, is that the key to success is perseverance.
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoElvis wasn't widely rejected. it was just a couple of people, and all within Sun. He was still at Sun, and Mr. Sam had dog eared his file. But Mr. Sam wanted crossover over the color line in music. Almost nobody hits their first one out of the park. Once "Blue Moon" hit, Elvis was on rails.
