Dont give up because someone is making you feel bad
Many dreams has been killed because the dreamer could not take the mockery from people around him, some people are so scared of failure that they never compete or try to do anything if only they realize one can't be the best in what they don't practice....
A winner is someone who doesn't give up till the end, no matter the obstacles he encountered in the way and after darkness comes the light, if you see successful man, don't get jealous or be envious of them because you don't know what they have been into before they get to that position...
Which reminds me of my story that happened during my teenage, i lived with my mum in a small village and we have some other boys that are my agemate we do play together but during football, they always make fun of me and won't choose me to play except there is no one to play and hence have no choice but to use me..
They don't hate me, it is just that i can't play footballl and whenever the ball is with me, i do bounce which makes it funny to the players and those watching us play, the easiest way to destroy one's talent is not believing in yourself or admitting the negative things people say about you..
I left home to study in the city where my sister lives, i kinda mingle with the people there and we played ball, i was surprised they said i am such a good footballer, the same me that was not appreciated in my area is valued in another place, the fact that these people believed in me boosted my confidence and i put more energy into it, i feel like a star and my skills increased rapidly because i started being positive about myself in the soccer game..
By the time i returned back home 2 years after. even i knew my game play has changed and my friends at home where surprised too, now they all want me in their team and even during friendly match with other street, i am among those who represented my street, i still remember how my name filled the air during one of the match and i feel so happy and played harder, that memory is ever green
Morale lesson

Agree with you sure. Great story by the way, there are people around us who don't want us to grow. They are kind of jealous and afraid of the success of others.
Thanks for sharing sir.
