The right connection can get you the right opportunity that can change your life. It may take 1 week , a month or even a year either way, keep showing up. Never give up, the day you least expect could be the day that would change your life. The key is always be ready at all times.
Forget about the people that left you, their leaving you is not the problem. The problem is meeting you the same place they left you. Strive towards growth. The greatest payback you can give to those who left you is showing you can do better than they left you.
Never let peer pressure control your actions and decisions, one of the greatest mistake man can make is letting the decisions of others control the choices we make, we nolonger act because we want to but because others are doing it. Once we become pressurized by peer groups, we nolonger have the ability to differentiate between a person who wants to build with you and a person who just want to use you.
Be who you are, stay strong, never give up on your dreams. It is not about how fast we make it, it is about how well. Dont feel bad when others make it before you
