You have to understand that not everyone will be there for you when you are feeling down, and that is why you have to be strong alone. Some people will just never show up in front of you whenever you need them but you have to understand also that we all have different battles to fight for.
Sometimes, we are suffering silently and we can't be there for others because we also need to comfort ourself first. It's a tough battle to fight alone, but it's okay. You need to understand that you can't always have someone to comfort you because we are all too busy saving ourself from our own sadness and pain. You can't always expect other people to save you, sometimes, you have to save your own self no matter what you're going through.

💰A billionaire gave a journalist an incredible lesson..
During one interview, the journalist asked the billionaire:
“Sir, what’s the secret of your success?” 🤔
The billionaire handed her a check and told her to write down the amount she wanted.
The journalist replied indignantly:
“Sir, that’s not what I meant. I asked you: what’s the secret of your success?” 🙁
He handed her the check again, but she refused to take it. 💸
Then he tore up the check and told her:
“The secret of my success is that I don’t miss a single opportunity, unlike you. 😅
You could have just become the richest journalist in the world. But your pride didn’t let you do it.” 🧠
♥️ – if you would’ve taken such a chance

🗣 Don't be ashamed of this.
➡️ Wearing old clothes because they don't define who you really are, inside.
➡️ Having poor friends because there is no room for differences in status in friendship.
➡️ Take care of your aging parents because they helped make you who you are today.
➡️ Live modestly because success is not measured by appearance.

There are two success paths in life:
1) Do nothing. Want nothing.
2) Pick a direction and ride the chaos as long as you can until nature finds your equal.

Never ask your child where they want to work when they grow up. You are subliminally programming them to be lifelong employees. It may be too late for you to be great, but don't project your children to live by your limitations. Instead, ask them what they want to do when they grow up. That way, they understand that they should grow up to do things, and not necessarily to work somewhere. Elon Musk does things. So do Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Dangote. Don't frame the question to your children as if life is only about going to school, getting a job and retiring at 65. That is your life. It is not automatically theirs. They can be doers instead of workers!

🗣 AliExpress founder Jack Ma explains the business
1️⃣ “When you start a business, it means you give up a stable income, sick leave and annual bonuses”
2️⃣ “Competition is like a game of chess. If you lose, you can always play another round. No need to fight"
3️⃣ “A real entrepreneur has no enemies. Once you understand this, no one can stop you."
4️⃣ “The worst qualities for an entrepreneur: to be a snob, not to be able to adequately assess the situation, to take a high pace and not be able to maintain it, not to have the ability to look forward”
5️⃣ “If you don’t know everything about your competitors, or you underestimate them, or you don’t see them as a threat, then you will definitely lose”

Keep going. Don’t quit. You’ve come this far. The difficult days will make way for happier days soon enough. Remember, nothing lasts. What are your people around you like? True people aren’t the ones who help you have fun without a care in the world and make you obsessed with material trappings. True people are those who stand by your side and they’re concerned with helping you build, grow stronger and be happy mentally.
