NEVER let other people's opinions of you determine your destiny.
Most people fail in life not because they aim too high and miss, but because they aim too low and hit.
You can't see the picture when you're in the frame.
Life is a fight for territory and once you stop fighting for what you want, what you don't want will automatically take over.
Things are not going to improve for you in life until YOU improve
If you want to keep getting what you're getting, keep doing what you're doing.
