Giving up is not an option if you want to succeed. If you really want to be in business, and it's something you can't live without, you just have to keep going. And one day that shot will be given to you.
Do not to take everything personally or so seriously, because sometimes you're just not right for a particular job. You have to be able to take rejection quickly and honestly, know what you need to work on, and move on.
When I was growing up, we didn't have this super-skinny, flawless image to compete with. I find it unfortunate that young women may look at those images and think that is the ideal of beauty. It can cause a lot of problems and self-esteem issues if we don't remind girls that being healthy and exactly who you are is the main thing. I'm grateful I didn't grow up with those images.
It only takes for one person to remind you that you are special, and then your whole life is changed.
