We all go through personal and professional struggles. But when you're going through it, that's when you know who is truly FOR you and who isn't (enemies).I am Fulbright Scholar (IYKYK). I was rejected the first time I applied. I changed my application strategy, got some very helpful advice from some people, and I applied again. Though I was awarded the Fulbright the 2nd time I tried, I was fully prepared to try a 3rd, 4th, or 5th time.
But when I was applying the 1st time, there were some Negative Nancy's and Hater Harry's who tried to discourage me, in the form of "concern." "I just don't want you to be disappointed, if you don't get it."Because that's what haters, whiners, and victims do: they give up so they don't have to try. #imnottheone
When I was awarded the Fulbright, it was a really big thing. And I made it even bigger by talking about it a lot. Because I don't stand down, downplay, nor hide my accomplishments. #imnottheone Negative Nancy and Hater Harry congratulated me. ?? Then, in private meetings, they each asked me what I did so they could do also be awarded a Fulbright. Harry even asked me to write a reference for his application.
Yeah, no. They tried to discourage me from baking the bread, so no, they don't get to eat nor know the secret recipe. #imnottheone If they didn't ride with you when the journey began, don't let them in the car when you reach your destination. #innottheone #beyourbestbrand #beyourbestcareerarchitect #resumes
