The core theme is the importance of perseverance and conviction in pursuing one's creative ideas, even when faced with initial rejection and doubt from others.

You know,
I guess one person can make a difference.
>> I was told to say an anecdote.
Anecdotes are easy.
So, I thought to myself, what kind of anecdote
anecdote >> [music]
>> [music]
>> can I tell these people who really have
more important things to do?
And I figured I'm going to tell you how
>> [cheering] [applause]
[applause]
>> It's It's a true story.
Although sometimes it's hard even for me
to believe it.
But um
we had already done the Fantastic Four
[music] and I think maybe the X-Men. I
can't remember the order, but my
publisher came to me and he said, "Stan,
I want you to come up with another superhero."
superhero."
So, I said, "Okay." You know, when I'm
home and when my publisher said, "Do
something." I better do it cuz I wanted
to keep my job.
I thought, "What can I come up with
now?" And the most important thing in a
superhero at first is the superpower.
Once you get that, everything else comes along.
along.
So, I thought, "What power will I give a
new guy?" And I saw a fly crawling on
the wall. >> [music]
>> [music]
>> And I said, "Hey, if I can get a
superhero that could stick to walls and
crawl on them, man, that would be cool."
And then No, I'm lying to you.
I don't think the word cool was in use
then. I prob- I probably said, "It'll be groovy."
groovy." >> [laughter]
>> [laughter]
>> I'll never lie to you.
So, I thought that was good. Now, I
needed a name. So, I said, "Well, let's
see. Fly-Man, Mosquito-Man." [music]
I got down to Spider-Man. Spider-Man.
It just sounded dramatic. So, okay, I
had my hero, I [music] had his power,
his name, and then I figured just for
fun, I'm going to give him personal
problems cuz except for you people who
are your lives are perfect, but most
other people have personal problems.
And I then I thought I'd make him a teenager.
teenager.
Cuz [snorts] there were no teenage
superheroes that I knew of at the time.
So, armed with all that wonderful
material, those great ideas, I ran into
my publisher's office and I told him
this was my reaction, the reaction he
gave me.
Stan, that is the worst idea I have ever heard.
heard.
First of all, and he started to give me
his cuz he's a very logical man, very intellectual.
intellectual.
First of all, people hate spiders, so
you can't call a hero Spider-Man.
You want him to be a teenager? Teenagers
can only be sidekicks. [music]
And you want him to have personal problems?
problems? >> [music]
>> [music]
>> Stan, don't you know what a superhero
is? They don't have personal problems.
Well, I left the office disappointed,
but obviously a much wiser man.
And I couldn't get Spider-Man out of my system.
system.
So, we were about to kill the magazine.
I think it was called Amazing Fantasy. [music]
[music]
It wasn't selling well, and we were
sending the last issue to press.
When you do the last issue of a
magazine, [music]
nobody cares what you put in it cuz the
book is dying.
Just to get it out of my system, I put
Spider-Man in Amazing Fantasy, featured
him on the cover, >> [music]
>> [music]
>> forgot about it.
A month later, all the sales figures
came in.
My publisher came racing into my office. [music]
[music]
Stan, Stan, you remember that character
He said, "Let's do him as a series."
Now, why am I telling you this? >> [music]
>> [music]
>> Besides the fact that I have to kill a
little time. >> [laughter]
>> [laughter]
>> If you have an idea
that you genuinely think is good,
don't let some idiot talk you out of it. >> [cheering]
>> Now,
that doesn't mean that every wild notion
you come up with is going [music] to be
genius, but if there is something that
you feel is good, something you want
[music] to do, something that means
something to you,
try to do it. Because I think you can
only do your best work [music]
if you're doing what you want to do, and
if you're doing it the way you think it
should be done, and if you can take
pride in it after you've done it. No
matter what it is, you can look at it
and say, "I did that, and I think it's
pretty damn good." That's a great
feeling. I'm Stan Lee.
I've been writing stories for the young
generation for the past 30 years. During
this time, I think I've learned a lot
about what young people think. More
importantly, [music]
I think I've learned a lot about what
young people are.
