This may be a bit late in posting, but allow me to add my two cents.
The following is the text of a letter written by Abraham Lincoln, giving advice to a friend of his son Robert, that did not get into Harvard. The quote below is, I think, the best advice one can receive when it comes to achieving success:
-To George C. Latham, July 22. 1860-
"My dear George
"I have scarcely felt greater pain in my life than on learning yesterday from Bob's letter, that you had failed to enter Harvard University. And yet there is very little in it, if you will allow no feeling of discouragement to seize, and prey upon you. It is a certain truth, that you can enter, and graduate in, Harvard University; and having made the attempt, you must succeed in it. "Must' is the word.
"I know not how to aid you, save in the assurance of one of mature age, and much severe experience, that you can not fail, if you resolutely determine, that you will not.
"The President of the institution, can scarcely be other than a kind man; and doubtless he would grant you an interview, and point out the readiest way to remove, or overcome, the obstacles which have thwarted you.
"In your temporary failure there is no evidence that you may not yet be a better scholar, and a more successful man in the great struggle of life, than many others, who have entered college more easily.
"Again I say let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed."
I'm certain that you will find success in your new profession.
Best of luck in your endeavors.
Warmest regards.
