 Tim Ferriss was born on July 20, 1977, to American parents in East Hampton, New York. Due to some complications during labor, he was born premature and his parents assumed he would die while in the incubator. It took a torturous period of two months for him to be able to live independently of the incubator. Tim was finally released to his parents when he was ill and hearty. Tim had a normal childhood. He attended some poor school concord, New Hampshire. As a teenager, he discovered he was drawn to literature. He read voraciously, consuming a range of genres. He read fiction and non-fiction books and was a regular subscriber for many reputable literary journals. Soon, this rate in culture involved into the ambition to become a writer. Tim began early to think about things like character and setting and what genre of literature to focus on. When Tim completed his secondary education, he wanted to attain a degree in literature but was unable to gain admission in the field. This became his first serious rejection in life and left him feeling dispirited for a while. He quickly switched to an alternative plan and gained an admission to study East Asian studies in the famed Princeton University. While at Princeton, Tim never lost sight of his dream to become a writer. He started to write many initial drafts that did not materialize into actual books. Like most up-and-coming writers, Tim found it difficult to arrange his thoughts and sequence. He spent a great deal of time polishing his writing craft while at school. This sometimes took its toll on his academic performance. In the year 2000, Tim graduated from university. He had not yet produced the manuscript of his dreams so he took on a job in sales at a data storage company. While working as a salesperson, Tim still paid rapt attention to his craft, honing his writing, attending workshops, and reading materials on creative writing. He did not earn so much at the time but he spent the little he earned on purchasing materials on how to write. While still working as a salesperson and struggling to complete his book, Tim founded Brainquicken, an internet-based nutritional supplements business. At first, the business was a complete failure. No one paid mind to all the adverts he spent his savings on. This was a huge source of frustration for Tim. At this time, his book was ready and he had begun querying traditional publishers. Every publisher he queried rejected him. After he received his 10th rejection, it seemed like there was no need to go on. This thought was exhibited by the fact that his business still struggled to find its fits. Tim continued to work on his query letters and his business totally ignoring the voice of discouragement. He received 15 more rejection letters before a publisher finally accepted him. Today, Tim Ferris is a critically acclaimed and widely read author. His debut book, The 4-Hour Walk Week, became an international bestseller and his online business, Brainquicken, became very successful and was finally purchased by a London-based private equity firm in 2010. There are many people experiencing rejection all over the world. The fact is that there's a category of people who will give in to the pressure these rejections exert and stop pursuing their goals. Others will see these rejections as stumbling blocks on their road to success. Whether a person will achieve their dream or not depends on the category they belong to. Kelly Cotron said, When you're following your inner voice, doors tends to eventually open for you, even if they mostly slam at first. Rejection isn't avoidable. Some doors will open for us and those that will not, no matter how hard we bang on them. The surest recipe for failure is when a person chooses to remain at the door that refuses to open, ignoring the many orders that will. Steve Marry said, Chase your dreams until you catch them and then dream, catch and dream again. Dreams are often elusive but a person who persists even when they have been rejected multiple times will eventually catch their dream. Steve Maraboli said, Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being redirected to something better. Inferis found success because he saw his rejection as he's cute to move on to something greater.
