Did you know ... Dr. Seuss was born Theodore Seuss Geisel on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, MA. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His first children's book "And to Think I saw It on Mulberry Street" appeared on the market in 1937 (after being REJECTED by the first 43 publishers)!
This little known fact is listed in the special features section on my DVD of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Imagine being rejected 43 times and then turning into a sensational writer where decades later, an entire month is dedicated to the master. He turned nonsensical gibberish into genius code talk and was as good as GOLD!!
Okay here's the inspiring part ... back in 1937 Dr. Seuss was rejected 43 times before finding someone that would help him bring his vision to life ... how much harder is it today to find someone that will help you bring YOUR vision to life? Food for thought.
Moral of the story - don't ever give up! If you have a dream or vision, find someone to help make it a reality.
