I saw actor Harrison Ford on Live! with Kelly & Ryan one morning. He's clearly a talented actor and I've enjoyed his work in several different movies. One of my favorites is The Fugitive. Air Force One isn't bad, either, not to mention Star Wars and the Indiana Jones series. Not bad. However, not everyone believed in him.
During his interview, he related a story from early in his career. In one movie, before he hit it big, he played a bell hop in a hotel. He said one director called him over and told him he will never make it as an actor. He told him he knows an actor who was so good that when he played a delivery boy, he watched him and saw a great movie actor. Harrison Ford's response was unreal...he said, "Shouldn't you have seen a great delivery boy?"
Now, that's a great comeback! And it wasn't in any script.
My point in telling this story is simply that not everyone will believe in your talents, but it doesn't matter. If no one else ever believes in you, it doesn't matter. Harrison Ford could have thought that was the end of his acting. After all, it was a director telling him he had no talent.
It's nice for us all that he did not take that director's direction.
Believe in yourself, even if no one else does.
