Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
You should work to earn as much money as possible to buy a big house and have a nice car.
How I responded:
Money should never be your first priority. First you need to find out what motivates you, then figure out how to make a living out of it. Waking up in the morning and looking forward to going to work is priceless. Working in something you like and enjoy is a luxury.
