Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Family:

    You should join the family business and help your father...

  • How I responded:

    Search inside, if it's not your passion, don't do it. You will regret it and will turn bad for everyone. At the same time, be gentle with your family and explain your reasons. They have expectations and have done a lot for you.
