Have you ever had a person tell you that there was no way you could do something, or that you weren't good enough?
It's definitely happened to me. By a professor, actually. He even laughed at me. I was very surprised and very taken back. And you know what? I did it better and faster than I even thought I could. Well...that's embarrassing. Ha!
So if you're on the side where you are telling someone they can't do something, you're going to look stupid. Even if you have a PhD attached to your name, it doesn't mean you're automatically mature. They'll just take it as a challenge. Be careful what you say.
If you're on the other side...just do it. You can do it, and you can do it well. I'm a strong believer in accomplishing whatever you set your mind to. Don't let anybody step in your way for anything.

The wisdom of the ages---and you are the wise one to give this advice because you have personally lived it!
This is from your grandpa:
This is something I heard once upon a time, and it helps me put things in perspective:
"Anything good or bad that happens to me I either deserve, or I can learn from it, or it won't make any difference in the eternal scheme of things."
I really like your philosophy, Monica. Beautiful!
