"Well, I guess you had some success, too."

"So are you a millionaire?"

At that time, I didn't know what to say because when I was growing up, it was weird to talk about money. But I think, it's better to be honest with children.

"Yes, you're a millionaire. But you've never followed the money, it's not important to you."

"Not with you, but with you. I don't want to be poor all my life, I want to rise . But I never did."

"Well, why not?"

"You know, I'm not smart, don't study well at school."

"Well then, I'm not smart either. You stopped back in high school. Nothing perfect happened to you."

"So, how to succeed after all?"

In order not to feel guilty, people often do not want to give a refusal even if they know for themselves that it is difficult to meet the proposal. But, do not doubt your hunch and boldly refuse if you think you should.

Occasionally, denial is the best way to help you choose the priorities you need to do, show others your own rules and demand respect from them.

However, the irony is that remembering those things and constantly tormenting yourself because those past mistakes didn't help. Instead, you should try to improve yourself so you don't make the same mistake.

If I ever told myself "I am not beautiful", "I am not intelligent", "I have done this horrible thing for 5 years and have never forgiven myself" or any thoughts Any other negative, stop it immediately.

In addition, it is useless to compare yourself with others, it only harms your self-esteem and gives negative thoughts for a long time.
