Ignorance of Inteligence

Laying in a hospital bed, I was completely paralyzed, but at least I finally knew what disease i was experiencing. Though the affliction were the same as the day before, knowing why and what was happening to me was a relief. Then I had a nurse tell me that my rare disease was made up by a doctor so I'd quit asking him what i have. Because she thought she knew so much, she thought that she knew it all so when a disease came across her sheet that she didn't know, she dismissed it as something made up. Because after all, she knew everything already. After a month stay in the hospital i then had a doctor tell me with all his experience that i would never play sports again. After all their education, knowledge, and degrees, they ended up being dead wrong.

Just because I'm not a genius like Einstein it doesn't mean I'm not smart, just because i don't have a paper with my name on it, doesn't mean I'm not capable of doing something. Just because i am young doesn't make me naive. Just because i like to have fun doesn't mean i don't know how to work and be responsible.
yet sometimes the most ignorant people are the intelligent, for they believe in their pride that they know everything; that they know who i am and what i can be. The only person who can tell me who i am is me.

Just because i am not the biggest and strongest doesn't mean i can't fight and defeat any Goliath that crosses my path. How would it be if David listened to people that told him he wasn't strong, smart, or experienced enough to fight the giant? How many giants win not because of the fight, but because the challenger was convinced that they weren't up to the task.

Anyone can be the giant slayer, race winner, and miracle worker. Its starts in believing who you are, and faith and some hard work to make who you want to be. Don't let others tell you who you are, what you can do, or who you can become. That is only for you to decide.

You may not believe me, but postpone your doubt enough to believe in me.
