Stop expecting other people or friends to support or cheer for you. because half of them can't even support themselves. Understand that not everybody has your best interest in mind be ok with that, not everyone is hoping for you to succeed. and that's not because they are bad people but because they are struggling in this bad economy and when they are struggling, other people's success can seem like a threat to them. don't take that personally but it's good to be nicer and straightforward to anyone closer to you Never can tell the tables might turn around stil been to nice is an weapon for the weakest one
