I will tell you a story of my friend Monty Roberts.

As he was a kid, his father as a horse trainer was moving from stable to stable, from
ranch to ranch, training horses. Thus, the boys school career was constantly
interrupted. One day, when he was a senior, teacher asked him to write about what he
wanted to be when he grew up. He did not hesitate a minute and wrote seven-page
paper about his aim to be an owner of a horse ranch, he wrote many details and drew
a location of buildings and stables and even a detailed house plan.
Two days later he received his paper back with letter F on the front page. After class
he came to teacher and asked: Why did I receive an F?. The teacher responded:
This dreams is so unrealistic for a boy like you, who has no money, no resources and
who comes from itinerant family. There is no possibility that you will reach your great
goals one day. Then the teacher offered to rewrite the paper with more realistic
attitude.
The boy went home and asked his father, how he should act. The father answered:
This decision is very important for you. So you have to make your own mind on this.
After several days the boy brought the same paper to his teacher. No changes were
made. He said: Keep the F and I will keep my dream.
Now Monty Roberts owns 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of 200-acre horse
ranch and he still has that school paper, which now is framed over the fireplace.
Remember, you have to follow your heart and never let anyone to steal your dreams.
