Introduce Yourself : I’ve failed a million times, but I never quit by Kristina Smith

I’ve failed a million times, but I never quit

Hi, So I’ve been part of Stage 32 for many years, while I never got a job off of here, I did like the learning tools provided. I reach out for support for different things I’m doing whether Cinematography, Producing, Writing and others etc to always learn and update my craft. While I do get some encouragement, I’ve noticed in recent times (this year).I’m getting discouraged on here when I ask a question. Asking Questions is how we evolve. Then I remember what I’ve done and How I’m versatile with many skills in this industry. What I learned is Never listen to discouraging people, reverse psychology doesn’t work on creative people when people try to do it to us. It made me want to quit, then my Father told me if they are jealous, it means you are capable of something they cannot do. My creative brain went into Creative Analytical Brain and he is right. So I kept going and It made figure out new ways to get working in the industry.

I love your title here Kristina Smith "I've failed a million times, but I never quit" - there is no magic potion or secret sauce to success - but if there was, not giving up would be it. I hope you continue to ask questions, learn, grow, and evolve! We are all in this together!

Love this! I like to remember that you're not a failure unless you give up! That's what's up, you didn't quit! If the passion keeps driving you, stay aboard for the wild, bumpy, unpredictable creative ride!
