Encouragement

"Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you and how well you encourage yr experiences"


Dante Gabreil Rossetti, the famous 19th century poet and artist, was once approached
By an elderly man. The old fellow had some sketches and drawings that he wanted Rossetti to look at and tell him if they were any good,or if they atleast show potential talent.
Rossetti looked them over carefully. After the first few he knew that they were worthless,showing not the least sign of artistic talent. But Rossetti was a knid man and he told the elderly man as gently as possible that the pictures were without much value and showed little talent.
He was sorry,but he could not lie to the man.
The visitor was disappointed,but seemed to expect Rossett’s judgement.he then apologized for taking up Rossetti’s home but he would just look at a few more drawings-
These done by a young art student?
Rossetti looked over the second batch of sketches and immediately became enthusiastic over the talnet they revealed.”these,”he said oh these are good.
This young student has great talent.he has a great future if he will work hard and stick to it. “who is he” he asked.
The old man said sadly its me – 40 years ago. If only I had heard your praise then ! for you see, I got discouraged and gave up – too soon.”
