After a fruitless writing career filled with few book sales and poor reviews, F. Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940 thinking he was a failure, thinking his literary work would disappear forever. 

But today, his book ‘The Great Gatsby’ sells over 500,000 copies every year and is considered the greatest novel in American history. 

So do not feel discouraged. Do not give up. You never know the impact you can leave behind. Live in the present and continue to do the best work that you can.
