“People aren’t born brilliant. Some of us have a slower processing speed; others have higher. At the end of the day, if you want to be brilliant, you have to work for it.
Unless you’re accustomed to hard work, it’s never fun. You’ll miss out on some popular experiences in life, but the trade-off is worth it. Do it right. Live a life that everyone wants to live – one that too few are willing to seek.
Don’t expect support from your friends. Maybe they’ll get it; maybe they won’t. They’ll tell you not to bother.
They’ll give you reasons that you shouldn’t do it. Secretly, you know they simply don’t believe in you.
Ignore them. Don’t talk to them. Don’t allow them to pull you away and make you lose your focus. These people are the worst individuals to have in your life.
They’re the ones who anchor you to an existence you don’t want to be a part of. The only reason they’re telling you that your goals are “impossible” is that they don’t have the guts to do what you’re doing. In a way, they’re right; it is impossible. But only for them.”
