Thomas Slatin Quote On The Advice Of Her Father
The greatest advice my father ever gave to me was to never allow anyone to do my thinking for me, and never let anyone try to and convince me that my dreams are frivolous.

This is an advice that should be taken seriously and others should also come to terms with this. My dreams are valid to me no matter what others think.

This is something everyone should remember, though it’s very difficult to do. As long as you have something that pushes you to do everything to realize your dreams, you must never give up.

Your father was a man of wisdom. Leaving your thoughts at the mercy of others or in the hands of others will only spell diaster.
