Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Family:

    You should get a proper job.

  • How I responded:

    Once you succeed in your job, people around you will see your achievements and deep inside they admire you for daring to do something they might not have the guts or ability to do. Hang in there, you should always follow your dreams. Take control over your life, do not let life control you. And, it´s a cliche, but so true: you only live once! So follow your dreams!
