Never sacrifice who you are just because someone has a problem with it. Do not give up, the beginning is always the hardest. Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes.
There is a great difference between worry and concern. A worried person sees a problem and a concerned person solves a problem. So, be a concerned person.
Laugh at your mistakes, but learn from them. Joke over your troubles, but gather strength from them. Have fun with your difficulties, but overcome them. Good Day!
