The Real Pleasure

It's another start of the week (Sunday) and we will be motivating ourselves today again.

Some talented youths tend to lose hope in their career of choice when people around them like friends and family tell they they cannot do it and the reasons why they can't. I've always say you shouldn't allow people around you to affect your success. These people will be ready to give a thousand and one (1001) reasons why you should not continue with your career of choice. Your ability to give them just ONE reason that supersede the 1001 reasons makes you continue and succeed in the end. When they tell you all sort of things, just tell them you can do it simply because you believe you can. Many have fell due to pressure from people that "like" them.

Walter Gagehot once said and I quote: "A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do". Why not earn yourself such pleasure? They tell you that you cannot do it because you are a female; because you are not strong; because you are not brilliant; because you are too young. Just tell them you can because you believe you can. Don't let anyone reduce your morale as par your career of choice. Strive, achieve the unachievable, do the "undoable", succeed where people of your calibre have never succeeded, rise up beyond your limits, and you will get the real pleasure of doing what they say you cannot do.
