1、You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves,they wanna tell you you can't do it.If you want something, go get it.
如果你有梦想的话，就要去捍卫它。那些一事无成的人想告诉你你也成不了大器。如果你有理想的话，就要去努力实现。当你最认为困难的时候，其实就是你最接近成功的时候。当人们做不到一些事情的时候，他们就会对你说你也同样不能。不要让别人告诉你，你不能做什么。只要有梦想，就要去追求。那些做不到的人总要告诉你，你也不行。想要什么就得去努力，去追求。2、Martin Frohm: What would you say if a man walked in here with no shirt, and I hired him? What would you say?
