Ever since we were young, we've all heard the adage that we can achieve our dreams if we keep going at it and never give up. If there are obstacles along the way, then we can work around them or go through them. In addition, we were told that we should never let another person(s) tell us that we can't do something.
Is this adage true?
I've known a few friends who are very intelligent good people. However, they were never given any opportunities to prove themselves. They've tried really hard to get what they want only to have a lot of their hopes crushed time and time again. What should they do (differently)? What can I do to help them?
