Lucille Ball: She began studing to be an actress in 1927 and was told by the head instructor of the John Murray Anderson Drama School, “Try another profession. Any other.”

Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds: In 1959, a Universal Pictures executive dismissed them at the same meeting with the following statments.  To Burt Reynolds: “You have no talent.”   To Clint Eastwood: “You have a chip on your tooth, your Adam’s apple sticks out too far and you talk too slowly.”

Alexander Grahm Bell:  When he invented the telephone in 1876, it did not ring off the hook with calls from potential backers.  After making a demonstration call, President Rutherford Hayes said, “That’s an amazing invention, but who would ever want to use one of them?”

Thomas Edison:  He was one of the greatest inventors in American history.  When he first attended school in Port Huron, Michigan, his teachers complained that he was “too slow” and hard to handle. As a result, Edison’s mother decided to take her son out of school and teach him at home.  In his lifetime, Edison produced more that1300 invernetions.
