I appreciate the thoughts, but I'm okay with it; it looks like they might bring me back anyway, and if not, there are plenty of other opportunities for me to pursue.

Love,

Barrett

Hi Barrett,
 
Mom told me the new hire brought in by the Calf. group was redoing the blog you were working on and let you go. Your close relationship with the owners prior to his arrival threatened his authority to do what he wanted with the site, as well as your writing talent. Some older people see a talented young person like you, and are excited to have that talent in their camp, knowing that they will receive part of reward that talents brings. Others are very threatened because they preceive you as competition for their job, and many are just jealous because they never had your talent in the first place. Do not let this get you down. It will not be the last time it happens either. Your skills are going to be seen as potential threat to many less talented coworkers and bosses. The only true key to success is persistence. Don't ever give up. Not ever. I don't think many great accomplishments ever came with out numerous failures first. You have great talent, and you will be successful beyond your wildest dreams as long as you don't give up. So take a day or two to be pissed, then get up and find something better. I never thought that this blog assignment was anything but a small step towards something great. Never give up.
