Instead of thinking about what they will laugh at and gossip about you, think about why you have to succeed. When success is necessary, you will succeed. When success is not for the sake of showing others that you have succeeded, you will succeed. If success is like you getting out of a prison that deprives you of sleep, you will succeed. When your success is the only thing that will give you happiness, you will succeed. When your success has been translated into specific goals while you have a picture of it in your head and you know it as well as you know the image of your face, you will succeed. When you are ready to do anything legal and follow all the rules that must be followed in order to succeed, you will succeed. Success requires a person to deliberately choose to be a different person. "Everything is created twice; First in Consciousness and Then in Reality"
