“ Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. ”
Mark Twain (1835–1910)
American humorist and writer

Whenever someone is trying to discourage you by saying you are crazy, do not believe them!
For when they say you are crazy, there is a real possibility that you are on something reaaaalllly good.
Did you know that some critics said that Wayne Gretzky was too small and too slow to make it in the NHL. But, by the end of his 24 year career as a player, “The Great One” had amassed 60 records, including the record of the most goals : 894 in 1 487 games.
Oh by the way, does anyone remember the names of the critics?
Drama coaches told Lucille Ball she had “no talent for acting”. But she refused to give up a dream and became one of America’s beloved stars of her generation.
Who were those drama coaches again?
Trust your instincts and follow your heart!
