When it comes to personal success, a situation seems simper; to work with other people is still more productive than to work alone. Take John Kennedy Toole as an example. With an intention to be a prestigious writer, Toole has published his first book, the Neon Bible, which brought Toole into public attention. Not satisfied with such fame, Toole soon wrote another book, A Confederacy of Dunces, and sent it to a very influential editor, Robert. Unfortunately, Robert admitted Tooles talents but not his masterpiece. After several revisions, the book was still rejected. Toole then reached another editor, but what he received was still negative feedback. All these experience of working alone gave Toole nothing but depression. Feel like living on an island of hopeless and loneliness in the midst of a vast ocean of chances and opportunities, Toole committed suicide at the age of 31. But this was not the end, a key turning point in Toole career was when his mother joined him in the realization of his dream. After 10 years continuous efforts by Tooles mother, the Confederacy of Dunces finally became a hit and was awarded the Pulitzer Price for Fiction. By working alone, Toole harvested a feeling of isolation and finds himself languished in the corners of hopeless. But his mothers join came as a great beacon light of hope to Tooles career. Toole is undoubtedly talented, but we could see the sad story that to work alone can be depressing, without his mothers support, the public would never have the change to appreciate Tooles talents in writing.
