The best advice you have received

One of the best advice that I ever received was actually from a movie “The Pursuit of Happyness”.

If you remember the scene on the basketball court when the character will smith was playing ,he was trying to discourage his son from spending too much time on the basketball court because he didn't feel his son could excel at the sport. He was probably giving his son this advice due to the many failures he had experienced, not just from his failures at the sport but from his failures in life in general.

Man: Hey! You know what today is?

Boy: Yeah

Man: What?

Boy: Saturday

Man: You know what Saturday is, right?

Boy: Yeah

Man: What?

Boy: Basketball

Man: You wanna go play some basketball?

Boy: Okay

Man: All right- then we’re gonna go sell a bone-density scanner. How about that? Wanna do that?

Boy: No

(playing basketball)

Boy: Hey dad, I am going pro! ... I am going pro!

Man: Okay yeah. I don't know you know I... You'll probably be about as good as I was. That's kind of the way it works you know. I was below average. You know, so you'll probably ultimately rank...somewhere around there you know so...I really - You'll excel at a lot of things just not this. I don't want you shooting this ball around all day and night. All right?

Boy: All right - Okay

(the boy stops playing and puts the ball in a bag)

Man: Hey! Don't ever let somebody tell you ... you can't do something. Not even me. All right?

Boy: All right

Man: You got a dream. You got to protect it. People can't do something themselves... they want to tell you, you can’t do it. If you want something, go get it. Period. Let’s go.

Key takeaway- self belief is everything.

Lissel, you feel on edge and irate and you pull back on the grounds that you are deserting yourself as opposed to cherishing yourself. There are just two methods for overseeing struggle that are wanting to you.
