Mary Engelbreit was a talented but struggling artist in her mid-20s when she flew to New York from her native Saint Louis, hoping to find work illustrating children's books - her life's goal. So she was disappointed when all the book publishers she visited turned her down. One even suggested her drawings might be better suited to greeting cards. "I was crushed," Engelbreit admits. Greeting cards seemed a comedown from her high expectations, but the advice stayed with her, and she decided to give it a try. The results transformed her life forever. Today Mary Engelbreit sells an astonishing 14 million greeting cards a year. Her popular designs appear on more than 2,000 products, including books, calendars, and kitchen items.
二十五六歲時(shí)，瑪麗?恩格爾布賴特是一個(gè)天分很高、卻在苦苦求索的畫家。她從家鄉(xiāng)圣路易斯飛到紐約，希望找一份為兒童書籍畫插圖的工作──這是她一生追求的目標(biāo)。所以，當(dāng)她去過(guò)的出版社都拒絕了她時(shí)，她非常失望。其中一家出版社甚至建議，她的畫也許更適合于賀卡。 “我被擊垮了，”恩格爾布賴特承認(rèn)。與自己所期望的相比，賀卡似乎太低微了?？墒悄莻€(gè)建議她卻記在心上，而且決定試一試。這一試永遠(yuǎn)改變了她的人生。 如今，瑪麗?恩格爾布賴特每年賣出的賀卡達(dá)1,400萬(wàn)張，這是個(gè)驚人的數(shù)字。她那流行的設(shè)計(jì)出現(xiàn)在2,000多種產(chǎn)品上，其中包括書本、日歷、廚房用品中。
