| These statues would like to thank the Academy. |
Imagine for a moment that you're accepting an award that recognizes your work. As you step on stage to accept said award, you offer thanks to those responsible for getting to where you are today--all in just 30 seconds. After mentioning your spouse, family, or perhaps God, who would you thank? Most likely it will be someone who mentored or motivated you. But what about those other people: the people who told us that we weren't good enough. Sometimes proving someone wrong is the greatest motivation. Michael Jordan once mentioned that his high school basketball coach who cut him from the team served as one the biggest influences on his life. Maybe it's being turned down for a job, rejected by someone you dated, or being told that you'll never have a future doing what you're most passionate...the opportunities are endless. Who do you want to thank?
