THEY ARE WRONG; ONLY YOU CAN MAKE THEM RIGHT.
Thomas Edison was expelled from school in the sixth grade. His Parents were told that it would be a waste of time to spend any money educating him because he was not particularly smart or capable of being taught anything. But eventually, Edison went on to become the greatest inventor of the modern age, patenting over a thousand inventions.
Albert Einstein and Dr. Albert Schweitzer were sent home from school because they were diagnosed of having learning disability.
Schweitzer's Parents were advised to apprentice him to a shoemaker so that he would have a secure job. But both men went on to earn Doctorate degree before the age of twenty.
Marcus Arelius once said, " Everything we hear is an OPINION, NOT A FACT..."
I could go ahead to list many more great men of the past and of our present age whom People's opinion of their potential and future have been wrong. And believe me, they won't stop being wrong. Do not live your life trying to prove them wrong, but note that you are the only one who can make their opinions about you right.
