Everything is feedback. Being bullied. Getting dumped. Failing a class.

It's all feedback.

Learn to take it at face value and you will crush.

Your insecurities are crippling you.

Remove yourself from the emotion and you'll crush.

If you don't think big enough you will never achieve your dreams.

Think big enough and your failure will be everyone else's success.

You must think big to achieve big things.

And the level to which you think determines the level with which you succeed.
