Our environment, the people we are in contact with daily, play an important role in shaping our personality. If you are surrounded by a crowd of people with low self- esteem, it won't take you long to lose yours. If you are surrounded by people who are focused on their goals, it wont't take long for you to focus on yours.
If the people around you discourage you, its time to let them go. Stop investing your time and efforts in people who won't value it.Make yourself your best investment.
