“Keep away from people to who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that but the really great make you feel that you too, can become great.” Mark Twain Mark Twain, the great Samuel Clemens that speaks of not allowing yourself to be limited by others. Our spheres of influence can either deflate or propel our energy for more. I don’t believe we should ever be ashamed of that. The evolution of our passions, desires and opportunities does not happy in a vacuum. We need others who are like-minded to remind us of what is possible.
