You are greater than what people see

I recall, with laughter, how, eight years ago a leading publisher assured me that his company could not publish my book because it would never sell. In his own words, he said “You cannot sell even five hundred copies a year.” I would have accepted his judgement, but the problem I had with him is that he made such a conclusion even without reading the book; he judged me by my age and said I had not accumulated enough wisdom and experience to write a great book.
