“Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something.  Not even me.  You got a dream, you gotta protect it.  People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can’t do it.  You want something?  Go get it.  Period.”

-Chris Gardner (played by Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness)

This quote encompasses one of the greatest lessons that we will ever learn in life.  Nothing that is worthwhile comes easily.   You should never let trivial things stop you from getting whatever it is that you want!  No successful person lets stumbling blocks or unsupportive people get in the way of them reaching their goals.  Those types of things differentiate people who are dedicated to reaching their goals and people who are just hoping that things will fall into their laps.  If you haven’t already done so, think about things that you want to change or achieve 6 months from now, a year from now and so on.  Make a plan of how you are going to accomplish this and put the plan into action.  Easier said than done? Of course it is!  Impossible?  Definitely not. You can do anything that you put your mind to…

    When there is one person that says you can’t do something or 50 people you have to be determined to do it. I’m determined to be a Doctor i have so many people coming up to me and always in my ear saying you can’t do that and you can’t do this, well you know thanks to all those people saying that i’m going to keep going and accomplish what I won’t to do. So Trey thanks for that sometimes it takes a young person to get the point across to another young person!

    That’s true when a person tells me I can’t do something that gives me the motivation to show them that I can do it, my mom always told me what God has set aside for you nobody can take it away. So even if some wouldnt like me to succeed or do good in life if its meant to happen it will, and no I’m not going to sit around and wait for it to happen either, I know that I have to work towards it like everyone else. Once again God helps those who help themselves.
