His father telling him that he will never make it and that he will be back home in 2 weeks was the motivation he needed. That kind of negative statements by his father was the driving spirit behind his determination to make it. I have used negative statements by people and family members to motivate me. And that is the best push you can get out of life to achieve your goals. Here's some advice, take that negative criticism and turn it to a positive. The majority of rich people have done this in their life and let me tell you it works! PEACE!
