I am Cheering for you

I have realized that some of the greatest inventions and inventors in life received numerous rejections.  Check this out:

"There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home."
--Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977.

"This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us." --Western Union internal memo, 1876.

“Mr. Bell, after careful consideration of your invention, while it is a very interesting novelty, we have come to the conclusion that it has no commercial possibilities."  -- J. P. Morgan's comments on behalf of the officials and engineers of Western Union after a demonstration of the telephone.

I am cheering you on
