Friends,
Below are some very encouraging words I received this past weekend from one of my mentors. The reason I have chosen to share it with the world is because of its undying message, which possesses great credibility and idealism.
I have realized that everything that is written below is very true:
Alex,
Congratulations on finalizing this chapter (college) of your life. My wife and I are very proud of you and wish you all the very best as you move to the next chapter.
Continue to have those “big” and “imaginative” plans and be ready to work hard to achieve them. Most important, always remember that you control your destiny. All the support people in your life are exactly that, support people.
However, you are the only person who has done that which you have accomplished thus far, and you are the only person who can accomplish your future.
[I only request this: if you have the capacity - which I already know you do - to be a mentor and be mentored, do it. Your life will never be the same.]
