30 Rock’s Tracy Morgan is upfront
about his ‘secret’ to success.
“I got booed at the Apollo.
That’s what gave me my balls.”
“If you can survive getting booed
at the Apollo,
then everything else is a cinch.
That’s the attitude I had
when I went to Saturday Night Live.”
My equivalent experience
was losing the company I worked for
one million dollars
(in a contract screw up).
After that,
I was fearless.
I figured that if I could survive
that big mistake,
I could survive anything.
Mistakes often don’t make you fearful.
They make you fearless
and that is a very good thing.
