How to stumble and pick yourself up, refuse to give up on your dreams, and not let those who don’t believe in you break you. Teachers, mentors, parents should be careful with the way they speak to children, adult children, students and mentees. The one who is “down” learns to listen inwardly rather than outwardly.
