If it wasn’t for my friends who wanted nothing but the best for me, my childhood heroes, and a series of seemingly impassable challenges, I never would have been successful.
Amen, brother! Childhood friends and heroes play a big role in shaping who you are. All the obstacles along the way are worth it, once you’ve overcome them.
It’s funny how a lot of people take their childhood for granted yet it does a lot in determining who they eventually become. Thank you for sharing the quote 🙂
No man is an island and that is true in this case as with anything. However, just because we need them does not mean they will always be there. People does not understand it that much these days. Sad but true.
Im glad that you can rememeber the good friends from childhood, sometimes is hard for people to rememeber the good things and good times lived in that age.
I totally agree with this quote. Success doesn’t only take talent into account – it also is brought about by the people who encouraged and believed in you along the way.
