Never give up, and do not take “No” for an answer. Believe in yourself when no one else does

I have been making my living following my dream of being an artist for over 32 years and my advice is to never give up, and do not take “No” for an answer. Believe in yourself when no one else does. Do not be afraid of failure or of being knocked down. Just keep getting up and do the best that you can with what’s in front of you.
