you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or
be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite
firmly and very quickly.AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES.
