A speaker challenges you to keep pursuing your vision even when people you trust doubt it. True leadership means believing in yourself without needing others' approval. Pioneers faced opposition and persisted anyway, and critics often come around once they see results.

Let me ask you a question. What if somebody you trust in so much look at you now and say that your aspirations are not valid? Just what if? Just what if? Let's say that, okay, you have a one-on-one session with AFL and he sees what you want to do with your life, what you want to pursue, and he say Are you sure you are serious? Is this what you want to do with your life? When you are serious, call me. Do you believe in that thing to the level where you can say this is it, or every vision you have is subjected to the next opinion? We need to build some spines, and I can tell you this for free. Bulk of the things I'm doing now, in the days that I started, the people I look up to fought it. I stood respectfully, sir, this is it. If you always have to make sure there are many people doing it for you to be sure that it should be done, you are not a trailblazer. You don't have the spine for it. If you have to make sure that you are plenty for it to look good, you're not a trailblazer. You're not a trailblazer. You're not a trailblazer. Because everything you are doing today, somebody labored to start it, and the person faced contradictions. I, I sometimes I ask myself, who did this to us that people's opinion holds this much weight in your heart? Who did this to you? How did it happen? What changed? What went wrong? How, how many things will have to die because somebody you like didn't like it? How? See, listen to what I say. First, people will talk. Then later, they will have a rethink. Then at some point, they'll become neutral. When they see it's working, they will start it. Everybody eventually will do what is working. If you stop what is working because you are alone in it, you are not a leader.
