Career Change - Persistence is the Key
Sometimes it’s hard to understand the problems people have when they are pursuing a career that they really love.
According to an article by Frazier Moore for Associated Press, even at age 62, Tom Selleck has always been a good-looking guy and he must feel fortunate to have retained his good looks unlike almost any man on earth!
He’s a strapping, dimple-cheeked and handsome man, with plenty of work on. But it was not always the case.
“I’ve tried to work against it,” he insists. “If you’re trivialized and made fun of for it in your early career, like I was, you desperately want to be taken seriously.
“How I looked lost me more jobs than I got.”
Selleck lost a role as Jaclyn Smith’s beau on “Charlie’s Angels,” he says and quotes that series’ producer, Aaron Spelling: “I don’t want him. He’s too good-looking.”
Whilst most of us face other (one might say simpler) challenges to get the kind of work and career that makes a positive difference toout lives, Selleck is a testament to a strength of character that told him to persist.
It might seem tough, looking into a mirror each day at a good looking man - and then finding that it worked against you, but that’s what Selleck did.
Your challenges might be different, but without question, persistence always pays off in the end.
