The Art of Being Rejected

The Bookshop Guru


This is a true story, which happened to me several years ago now. In a way it’s a bit like one of those stories you would expect under “the tales of the unexpected” the TV series. But, with one thing missing, it’s not a creepy or a frightening story. Anyhow, it was one of those days when I would hop into my car with a couple of my paintings and drive to search out some art galleries. This was something I did quite frequently back then. I would wander off into the unknown and see what happened. It was mid-summer, the height of the holiday season as I parked up and took a stroll into the seaside town looking for art galleries. I felt sure I was in the right place. The watercolours I had tucked under my arm were a couple of seascapes, which would sell well in this seaside town, I thought. The watercolours were quite modern, but tighter than I usually paint especially these days.

I took a deep breath and entered the art gallery right on the seafront.  My first impression was of an art gallery with very little white space. Floor to ceiling the walls were plastered with art of all shapes and sizes.

I walked over and introduced myself to the owner of the gallery. I began by explaining why I was there. Then I propped my two watercolours below her desk so she could take a look. The lady began by saying she thought my paintings were too modern. I listened to what she had to say about my work. But, just then a customer came into the gallery and walked around as the gallery owner continued talking about my work. The gallery owner said, “I don't think your work would sell well in here, it’s too modern.” I tried to persuade her otherwise, but then the customer who had just come in came over to where I was standing and stood looking at my paintings. Whereupon she asked me how much would these paintings of mine cost? I explained how much for the pair and she agreed to buy them there and then. I even had to ask the gallery owner who was listening to this conversation if I could borrow a pen as the customer was writing me a cheque.

The strangest part was after the customer had gone the gallery owner still wouldn't consider selling my artwork in her gallery even after she had to eat her words. I don't know if she was still embarrassed or what, but when I breathed fresh air the buzz was fantastic. I guess sometimes it’s difficult to convince some people even when they have had to eat their own words.

Are you listening,  what are you dreaming?

The Worldwide Conspiracy of Silence: Isn't Ironic Don't You Think?

The Bookshop Guru

Did you know that farm animals such as cows are being found worldwide with horrific mutilations, seemingly, performed with extraordinary surgical precision without leaving any trace of blood?  And there is a conspiracy because it would take more than one sick individual to conceive and conduct a worldwide experiment of animal cruelty.

Now, you have to ask the question: why is this happening? From the worldwide evidence, it is obvious that a monumental experiment is taking place, but the logic of why these cow mutilations are taking place baffles me. Why would you select cows (across many of the breeds (around 800)) from different parts of the world, unless you were looking for something like pathogens and antigens, because all cow breeds stem from one species (Bos taurus)? Je sais pas, but it's plausible.

Now, the second question to ask is: who is responsible? You, perhaps, may assume that our governments were the culprits, but I don’t agree with that assumption. You see if our governments wanted to conduct experiments on animals in this way they would conduct their experiments in secret, not in public. The evidence suggests an alien presence, because of the worldwide phenomena and the level of sophistication used to perform these mutilations without leaving any trace of blood, seemingly alien to known technology. The non-believers to this premise should look at the evidence and the logic, because unless you are psychic that is the only way you will know the truth. And we should remember that the truth never lies only people do.

The next question to ask is: why are our governments silent on this phenomenon? Je sais pas.

The Thief of Inner Sex: The Innocence of Love

The Bookshop Guru

There was no trust to break in our love, we were only young, not yet old enough to make promises we couldn't keep. But still that love shone like a bright candle between us, for there was something of magic glue that kept us together, sweetness of honey, a purity of love. On the last day we had together, we said our goodbyes, and I can remember Karen’s words she said to me, ‘goodbye Tony, I hope we meet again.’ A sweet kiss touched our lips, and love's shadow was gone. I’d bid farewell to a love I could trust, and hoped it would come ashore again.

No 1 Reason Why Students Fail: Read My Compelling Book

The Bookshop Guru

I devote a chapter in my book to: why students fail with explanation and examples so that you don’t fail? 

Here is a list of stories included in “How to Pass a Degree with Confidence” they are not in any order, purely random.

To be or not to be

It’s never too late

We don't all wear the same shoes

We have all the time in the world

Sat there like a Cheshire cat

There’s a bit more meat on the bone

More stress than a chaining smoking nurse

The golden rule

How I got my T-Shirt

A girl came knocking on my window

Realise your potential it’s within you to succeed. Your success is not proportional to the effort you put in, that part is purely random.

I can win the lottery in a second, but spend a lifetime finding a cure for cancer. Which is more rewarding?

As Jesus said, “belief is everything.”

The book “How to Pass a Degree with Confidence” also includes the following:
  
A study guide including:  How to write your project or dissertation, exam preparation, how to research, time management, how to reference correctly, critical thinking, how to study, how to revise, a girl game knocking at my window, how to build confidence, the need to set goals, a student perspective, how to cope with stress, how to cope with meagre funds, score more goals than Casanova, top tips for university, and much more.

Readers' comments
"very well written and organized tutorials…its indeed a great help for beginners like me to keep up the interest and at the same time learn this important subject."

"Brilliant. One of the very best I have read. Well written, with style and intelligence. I have spent hours looking for erotica like this... ."

An interesting, innovative, and motivating self-help book on how to pass a university degree with confidence by providing not only the do’s and don’ts, but also an insightful and fascinating personal experience. It was written using the author’s experience gained as a student representative as well as the achievement of gaining an MSc and a BSc Honours degrees.

The Million Dollar Question and Answer ( NFL Sunday Football Comic Diary) Week 14

The Bookshop Guru

The Seattle Seahawks face Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday’s live match. This is a tough matchup to predict. I fancy the Seahawks to win the game. The consensus is around 61% in favour with the Seahawks, even though the bookies make the Seahawks the dog in this matchup. It’s all about the quarterbacks for me, Wilson against Sanchez and I fancy Wilson to come out on top. As they say, go with the inform team. Who invented the spread, the bookies, and the way they see it, as a + or – 1.5 point game? So, that probably means the Seahawks will win straight up.  Whatever happens, I will enjoy the game!

Please God Make My Book a Moscow Best Seller ~ From Russia with Love

The Bookshop Guru

If you snooze you lose. I think I have been sleeping when I should have been thinking. Yes, how can I keep awake and keep praying? Some people say, “ask and you will receive.” Well, it’s been a long time and no answer. I do not know about you, but I must be on the wrong channel? I guess the secret is forgotten or God does not speak Russian. 


What is more I think God must be a comedian because some people receive luck and some are given intelligence. You have to ask why is it the word cannot spell God (the long version)? The reason I ask this question is what is the point of a spell checker that cannot spell? The answer is to ask Bill Gates and Billy the clown.

The Million Dollar Question and Answer ( NFL Sunday Football Comic Diary) Week 9

The Bookshop Guru

The Arizona Cardinals face Dallas Cowboys in Sunday’s live match. I fancy the Cowboys to win the game. The consensus are with the Cardinals, but I am not, they see the possibly absence of Romo as the best chance of beating the Cowboys at home. Who invented the spread, the bookies, and the way they see it, as a + or - 2.5 game? So, that probably means a tight game, so make your choice.  I also fancy going over on the total point line, because most of the recent matchups between these sides have been over. Home team is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings. Whatever happens, I will enjoy the game!
