My experience has shown that if you strive to get ahead, if you really attempt to make something out of your life, the voices of negativity will echo about you. Often, strange as it is, these negative voices will be those people closest to you: loved ones, relatives, best friends. Somehow, these people always think they are doing you a favor by pointing out all the things that can go wrong.
For sure, they have a genuine desire to keep you from making a mistake. However, if you are not careful, they will be convincing, and you will be turned away from a great adventure, the adventure of following your own personal dream or vision of success.
