Dear Max,

If I could only give you one piece of advice for the rest of your life I would tell you: Never tell yourself “no.” The reason it is so important is because, without fail, you will have many people that will try to tell you “no.” The last thing you want to do is give into the pressure form someone else who doesn’t have faith in you.

Down your path in life, whatever it may be, you will run into a number of individuals who will discourage you from progress. For one reason or another they listened to others in their life that discouraged their dreams. They think that because they were unable to do what they wanted, you should not be able to do what you want. They have given in. You can’t.

Telling yourself not to do what you really want to do is like telling the Pope he can’t pray. Its just not right.

Love,

Daddy
