Imagine what would've happened if they just gave up!
The Stranger Things script was rejected nearly 20 times by Hollywood studios.
The Duffer Brothers were even told to change the whole concept, but they refused!
But eventually, Netflix believed in their vision, and the show became a global hit.
It’s a perfect reminder that rejection doesn’t define your worth.
It just means you haven’t found the right people yet.
So keep going, stay true to your ideas, and surround yourself with those who see your potential the way you do.

“Stairway to Heaven”:
On this day in 1971, the untitled, but commonly known as “Led Zeppelin IV” LP went to #1 on the UK Albums Chart (December 4)
An iconic album in rock history, and argued by some to be Zeppelin’s best, containing some of the band’s classics, like “Stairway to Heaven”, “Black Dog”, “Rock and Roll”, and “Misty Mountain Hop”, among other brilliant tracks.
"Black Dog" was named after a dog that hung around the country house Headley Grange where the album was recorded, with the famous riff written by Page and Jones, and the a cappella section influenced by Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well".
"Rock and Roll" was a collaboration with the Stones keyboard player Ian Stewart who was assisting with the recording, that came out of a jam early in the recording sessions at Headley Grange, with an intro worked out by Bonzo.
"Misty Mountain Hop" was also written at the Headley Grange recording sessions, and featured Jones playing electric piano, and the title coming from J. R. R. Tolkien's “The Hobbit”.
The “Stairway to Heaven” riff of course, was controversially alleged to be lifted from the 1968 instrumental "Taurus" by the Los Angeles-based rock band Spirit, who toured with Led Zeppelin. After a court case and numerous appeals over the years though, the weight of the law fell in favour of Led Zeppelin.
The album was an absolute worldwide commercial and critical success, and is Led Zeppelin's best-selling, shipping over 37 million copies worldwide.
The 19th-century rustic oil painting on the famous front cover of the album was purchased from an antique shop in Reading, Berkshire by Robert Plant.
Until recently however, the identity of the man on the cover was unknown, but the mystery was solved by University of West England researcher Brian Edwards, who was flipping through a photo album and "instantly" recognised a familiar face.
The photo is believed to be a "late Victorian coloured photograph of a Wiltshire thatcher", according to Wiltshire Museum, which acquired the photo, and the man is believed to be Lot Long, born in Mere in 1823, who at the time of the photograph was a widower.
He died in 1893.
The photo is believed to have been taken by Ernest Howard Farmer, the first head of the School of Photography at what is now part of the University of Westminster.
The inside illustration, entitled "The Hermit", painted by Barrington Coleby (credited to Barrington Colby MOM on the album sleeve), was influenced by the design of the card of the same name in the Rider–Waite tarot deck.
In 2020, the album was ranked #58 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
