REJECTION IS INEVITABLE
A creative director was asked to train some account handlers. He had them spend the morning making a model airplane.
Then he took each plane in his hand and crushed it to pieces. 'That,' he said, 'is what it feels like to be a creative.' This story probably isn't true, but it does illustrate one of the harder aspects of our job - daily rejection of our work.
Put your rejected work in the bottom drawer. A good idea never dies. It just sits there in limbo, like a soul waiting for the right body.
