Proving Many Predictions About Oneself Wrong

I had friend Shela, for her plus two classes 11th and 12th, she wanted to go for science subjects.Her family was orthodox and never wanted Shela to go for science subjects.Shela joined good engineering college after her school,but her extended family was not happy with her choice.They always thought Shela can not do this course of her choice.Shela always believed she is not what others define her.

Shela went to do Ph.D abroad. Here sadly for first two years she had tough time ,as her supervisor thought she will not be able to pull through pre-Ph.D course work. In next two years in her Ph.D program Shela’s supervisor was happy with her work , hard work and analytical skill.

Shela never cared for any one’s comment about her.She was always involved in her research work.Now I feel proud my friend Shela is professor in good college in USA

Moral of story is friends , there always will be people who would tell one to quit, who will tell one that one can’t do this, who will tell one that

one is  not worthy but  always remember friends one  is not what others define. One is what one perceive oneself to be.

It is the only tip I wish someone would have given to every student.  With this realization if one strives to perform, certainly one will be better

and will become the best in spite of every person thought  against one.Friends one feels awesome that one has proved so many’s prediction

about oneself  wrong.
