Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Myself:
Your too dumb to go back to school.
How I responded:
Don't make excuses for yourself, and commit to the path. No one is just going to hand you success, you have to go get it. Talk is easy, its the action that comes at a cost. Lastly, its alright to fail (not a class), because now you know what not to do.
