Everyone has a different growing up story. What differentiate one story to be more inspiring than others would be ironically rating from the hardship a person has been through and how he demonstrated to be a real fighter in life. I find this famous person's story particularly interesting, just because he had to fight for his dreams, passions, and also challenge the social norm to prove his rights to be talented and successful.
He said, "beauty is about perception, not about makeup. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on makeup, or dress yourself, or do your hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction." This is Kevin Aucoin, a famous male makeup artist, photographer and author.
Aucoin was interested in makeup since he was a child, in the 60's. Because of his differences from his peers, he was bullied at school, being called "sissy" and discriminated from the society. But he never stop chasing his dreams and passions. He took in the hardship, moved to a different city and work harder than the girls (during that time makeup artists are generally women), finally his talent was discovered by Vogue in New York.
So when you are wondering why you are not successful, you have some reflection work to do. There is no one to blame. Don't worry about not being perfect, no one will really notice. I still believe work hard with a bit of luck you will get there in no time!
Have a bright and big future!
