Nobody believed in me. Nobody thought I was smart.

I bombed the SAT. I went to community college.

Nobody wanted to invest in my business. Nobody predicted I would be successful.

It brings me joy to prove people wrong. If people thought I was smart/capable/etc from the beginning, I’m not sure I would have worked so hard.

Still today, most people don’t believe in me. I love that. I get to keep proving people wrong and punching above my weight, probably for the rest of my life.
