I really tried. my hardest. and it doesn't matter. You know that quote, "Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice"? This is part of a statement that Steve Jobs quoted before his death, that I wholeheartedly believe. But, believing and doing are two different things. The more and more I am told I am worthless and that my efforts are fruitless, the more I doubt myself, my decisions, and who I am on a daily basis.
The fact is: when you're told these things; (1) you can't (2) you didn't (3) you won't, are the most terrible things a person can ever say to another person. They are negative and in no way ever help you; it just sets you up for immediate failure.
