Do your best to make a difference.

"When people write you off, don't get angry. Do your best to make a difference.

One day, I went to play five-aside football somewhere. It was my first time so some guys mocked me....'can this one play football?' They laughed. To them, I don't have the body for football. They didn't select me in the two teams to play the first game so I joined the third team. My body disqualified me. I didn't get angry because it gave me time to watch them play.

When it was our team's turn to play the winners of the first game, they didn't take us serious because to almost everyone, we were the underdogs. We played better and we won. I scored the goal against the chief rejection officer who was the other team's goalkeeper.

Rejection should not keep you down. Watch those that reject you and see how they do what they do. Do your best to remain your authentic self. Don't try to prove anything.

When people write you off, they won't expect anything good to come from you. They will ignore you because to them, you can't make any difference. To them, you are weak but this is your big opportunity because you are under no pressure to deliver. If you focus and do your best, you will surprise them and teach them a lesson.

Life is funny. Be careful who you think has nothing to bring to the table. The body may appear weak, or not ready, but strength and readiness are attributes of the spirit.

When people write you off, take your time to watch and do your best to teach them what to write about you."
