Motivational Success Story Of Stan Lee - Don't Let Idiots Control Your Life!
"Whatever you do give it your best shot. You'll be glad you did it" - Stan Lee
At 17 he was hired as an office assistant at Timely Comics that would later evolve into Marvel Comics. At first he had the most mundane job. He would fill the inkwells, go down and buy lunch for everyone, erase pages and proofread. But He soon became an interim editor for the company.
And slowly Stan began building a universe of characters that everybody loved, including the Fantastic Four, Thor, Iron Man, the Hulk, the X-Men, and many more.
But one time he almost quit.
His publisher asked Stan to come up with a new superhero.
And he started thinking..
One day he saw a fly on the wall and though what an amazing thing it would be if this superhero could stick to walls and crawl on them. So spider man was born. But He wanted to do something different with this character. He gave him personal problems and made him a teenager. So excited and armed with great ideas Stan lee ran into his publishers office to bring him the great news. But the reaction was:
"Stan, that is the worst idea I have ever heard"
But, something incredible happened. The magazine didn't sell well so it was about to shut down. They were releasing the last issue and nobody cared what would be on the last cover. SO just to get it out of his system he put Spider-Man on the cover. And it became so popular that his publisher fell in love with Spider-Man .
"If you have an idea that you genuinely think its good don't let some idiot talk you out of it. If there is something that you feel is good, something you want to do, something that means something to you. Try to do it. Because I think you can only do your best work if you're doing what you want to do. And if you're doing it the way you think it should be done, and if you can take pride in it after you've done it. No matter what it is. So don't let idiots talk you out of something that you think is good. Just do your thing. Do it as well as you can. That's the important thing. Whatever you do give it your best shot. You'll be glad you did it" - Stan Lee
