Subject: Letter to Mr. Buffett

It reads:

Alex—All aspects of my life have been covered many times over. Too much on my plate to grant all the interviews requested.

He barely lifted a finger to write that rejection, but it felt like he swung his arm back and punched me in the throat.

I called Dan.

“I thought we were golden…I thought this was a done deal…What did I do wrong?”

“Alex, you have to understand, this is Warren Buffett we’re talking about. He gets hundreds of requests a day. You shouldn’t see this as a negative. The fact he sent you a handwritten response means he likes you. I know Mr. Buffett. I know he doesn’t write responses to just anyone.”

I asked what I should do next.

“You just have to be persistent,” Dan said. “Colonel Sanders got rejected a thousand and nine times when he started KFC. This is just your first no. Mr. Buffett is testing you. He wants to see how bad you want it.”

As soon as I got off the phone, I printed out ten quotes and plastered them across the storage closet walls.
