Doing anything new and different will rarely be recognized for what it is. A few years before William Faulkner won the Nobel Prize in Literature, much of his work was out of print. Now he's considered one of the greats. Citizen Kane used to be considered the greatest movie ever made, now Hitchcock's, Vertigo, is. The thing with Vertigo was that it completely bombed in the theaters. Critics hated it. It got so bad that at one point Hitchcock pulled it out of distribution entirely. Now it's considered the greatest. There was a football player, Donnie Edwards, scouts all said he was too small to play, not strong enough, and so on, and they were right, except for the 12 years he played in the NFL and 2 pro bowls. The most famous may be Tom Brady. A skinny kid who wasn't very athletic. When in college, they kept trying to replace him. When he did the combine and he took his shirt off for pictures and weigh in he was so skinny people were laughing. On his pro day for scouts he fell down while doing a skills test. He was drafted almost dead last by the New England Patriots. 17 years later at the age of 40 he's not only still the best player in the NFL, he's the greatest ever. Every year there's a massive coverage of the NFL draft. Few of players pan out. Fewer taken at the top pan out. There's always someone coming up from the rear, someone that everyone overlooked, someone that everyone said was too small, too slow, too weak. And in big games, for the most part star players on each side cancel each other out. The decisive question is, which team is going to have some unknown player have a big game that day, who's the unknown that's going to step up. There's always someone. Whether art or sports, you have to trust who you are. The critics and experts don't know anything. Linked to NFL films on youtube (with licensed copyright). 2017-08-14 05:33:16
