Boston condo broker – Story of football player and an artists

Today, I’m going to share with you two stories on keeping the faith and never give up, especially if you have dreams of owning a Boston condo and feel discouraged.

The first, is a true story of a second string high school football player that was over weight.

Brandon Burlsworth was over weight and a second string high school football player. Yet, Brandon dreamed of playing for the Arkansas Razorbacks college football team but was told he wasn’t good enough to play Division I ball. Undeterred, Brandon took a risk and was a walk on in 1994. Written off by fellow teammates and coaches, Brandon displayed dogged determination in the face of staggering odds. The awkward kid who once was an embarrassment to his teammates and an annoyance to his coaches displayed hard work can be better than talent.

The most important failed art exhibit of all time.

It was organized by and featured artists who weren’t even among those that had a slot at the runner’s up exhibit for artists who weren’t featured in the real Salon in Paris. Manet didn’t have the guts to join them, so he participated in the ‘Refused’ exhibit. The others understood that a real change was possible.

Monet, Renoir, Sisley, Degas, Berthe Morisot, Pissarro, Béliard, Guillaumin, Lepic, Levert, and Rourt all participated. They not only put their art in the show, they organized and paid for it.

Lessons Learned

One of the most positive things to come from the exhibit was a scathing satirical piece, the one that gave the impressionists their name. The insecure critics came to regret their inability to see what was possible.

And yet, the artists persisted. Year after year, eight times, gaining momentum each time, they returned, working their way from outsiders to become the dominant form of artistic expression of their time.
