Have you ever been told you can’t do something in life? Well Melvin Douglas knows the feeling. A native from Kansas, wanted to wrestle for Oklahoma .  The coaches at the Oklahoma University did not think he was good enough. They told him all the good guys will be at the Junior Nationals and so he went there and won it all. From this small one page article in USA Wrestler, it can teach you about the hard times you may face in life and  to use those negative comments to power you in your life goals.

Just like Melvin, Michael Jordan was cut from his basketball team; that powered him to be better after that. Even Thomas Edison was troubled in his younger years. His teachers said he was to dumb too learn anything. That shows that you can be anything you want to be. You just have to work hard to achieve your goals or what you want to be.

In the begging Melvin did not have the best drive but when he got it.  He was a great wrestler and just wanted to wrestle in college. But after the coaches saying he was not good that gave him the drive to be great in sports and a person.

In this short article, it shows that what other people say can power you to do great things in life and Melvin Douglas is one example.
