We are all born with tremendous potential.  Just look at all of the things humans have done throughout history. 

  

It is so easy to say those people were different, had more intelligence or more ability.  I say different, yes, but not more.

  

Too often, we listen to others who say You can't do that, people like us can't do that or no one in your family has done that.  We listen and we believe.

   

The really successful ones have heard those same words.  The difference is their attitude:  "You say I can't do that?  Watch me."  They double their efforts and make things happen.

  

Be the great person you were meant to be.  Don't believe those who tell you otherwise.
