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.

  Herbal Cigarettes. These cigarettes are made from a blend of herbs, such as mint, clover, and rose petals, rather than tobacco. When you light an herbal cigeratte, the herbs inside burn and release smoke, which is then inhaled into the lungs. The smoke contains the active compounds found in the herbs, which can have a variety of effects on the body. Some herbal cigerattes contain herbs that are known for their calming and relaxing properties, such as chamomile and lavender. These herbs can help to reduce stress and anxiety, making them a popular choice for those looking to unwind after a long day. Other herbal cigarettes may contain herbs that have been traditionally used to support respiratory health, such as mullein and eucalyptus. These herbs can help to soothe the throat and lungs, making them a popular choice for those with respiratory issues.
