Before visiting these clients, Kerr locked himself in his room, stood in front of a mirror, read his list 10 times, and said to himself, "Before this month, you will buy advertising space from me."

He visited clients with such confidence that on the first day he closed a deal with three of his 20 "impossible" clients; During the other days of the first week, he closed two more deals; By the end of the first month, only one in 20 clients had not bought his AD.

During the next month Kerr did not call on any new clients. Every morning, as soon as the shop of the client who had refused to buy his advertisement opened, he went in and asked the businessman to advertise. Every morning, the businessman replied, "No!" Each time, when the businessman said "no," Kerr pretended not to hear him and continued to visit. By the end of the month, the businessman, who had said "No" to Mike for 30 days in a row, said, "You've wasted a month asking me to buy your ads. What I want to know is why you keep doing this."

"I wasn't wasting my time," Kerr said. "I was in school, and you were my teacher. I was training myself to persevere in the face of adversity." The businessman nodded, then Kerr said, "I must confess to you that I am in school, too, and you are my teacher.

English historian Thomas Carlyle suffered a similar fate. After years of hard work, Carlyle finally completed the entire manuscript of the French Revolution. He entrusted all the manuscript of this huge book to his most trusted friend Mill, and asked Mill to put forward valuable suggestions for the further improvement of the manuscript. A few days later, pale and out of breath, Mill came to Carlisle with the tragic news that, with the exception of a few scattered pages, the papers of the Grand Revolution had been incinerated in the fire by his housemaid as waste paper. Carlisle was depressed by the sudden blow. At the end of each chapter, he tore up the original notes and drafts. His painstaking history of the French Revolution left no salvageable record. But Carlisle pulled himself together. "It's like when I took my notebook to my elementary school teacher and she said, 'No! You must write better, child! '" He bought another stack of paper and began another painstaking task. The History of the French Revolution, which we now read, was the result of Carlyle's second writing.

One by one, they gave up the temptation of $100. Only a child in rags after they left still do not give up, trying to find, he has a whole day did not eat, hope to find gold watch before dark, solve the family to eat.
