Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Society in general:

    You should get an education, a good paying job with benefits and work your way up.

  • How I responded:

    You're either born with what it takes to be successful or you're not. There is very little you can do in this competitive world. You just need to know your place and you should be "fine".
