Her motto is: “If you can’t stop thinking about it, don’t stop working for it”. She is working towards her dreams every day. Don’t let anyone stop you. Only you can make your dreams a reality by working and not accepting “no” for an answer. Focus on your dreams and don’t worry about what others are doing. Learn from others but don’t compare yourself to others. Be supportive of others and they will support you. Stay away from negativity.
