The best advice I have gotten was when I was told that “in life there will always be ups and downs. There will always be people who doubt you and want you to fail. And there will also be people who want to see you succeed and do something positive in life. So as long as you keep pushing and stay on the right track, you will be okay.”
I feel this is one of the best words of advice I have received because not many people know that no matter what people say, good or bad, it will help you keep pushing. I took it as if people are making a comment about what I’m doing, good or bad, then I must be doing something good that they notice. And people could be talking about me because they don’t want me to succeed.
But all they are doing is making me stronger and making me want to do way more than I’m doing. This piece of advice was given to me from my grandpa who is in prison. I might not forget this because it is a factual statement and helps me keep going every day.
