money.

You can only ignore the

laughing and criticism of

others for so long before

you just have to punch

them right in thesnot-box.

The best way to help

someone focus onmoving forward is to

knock their ass to theground and make them

expectations that arenever fully met. Forget

your plans. Wing it.
