????西奧多?吉塞爾

????這位作家努力寫出的一部小說，卻被出版公司多次拒絕，甚至被評價為“完全是垃圾”——他一共被拒絕了27次。然而他并沒有放棄。

????在一個決定命運(yùn)的夜晚，他遇到了一位老朋友，這位朋友最近剛剛成為一名兒童文學(xué)編輯。于是，朋友同意出版吉塞爾的書。如今，他的筆名“蘇斯博士”已經(jīng)家喻戶曉。在第一本書熱賣之后，再也沒有人說吉塞爾是失敗者。

????This author struggled to write a novel that publishing companies would call something other than “pure rubbish” several times—27 to be exact. The man just wouldn’t quit, though.

????One fateful night, he ran into an old friend who had recently taken over as a children’s literature editor. The friend agreed to publish Giesel’s work. Better known today as Dr. Seuss, Giesel was never again called a failure after his first book struck it big.
