In my entire life I have received a lot of advice from my relatives, my family, members and friends. And those are amazing pieces of advice that I found really valuable for my life. They helped me to do something better. However, today I would like to talk about valuable advice I received from my mother. When I was student in Klasten, one of my teachers told me that I had to take part in a competition. There was a festival and at the time everyone was giving their speeches and my teachers wanted me to participate as well. However, I was really an introvert person. So it was difficult for me. I could not make sense of it. I decided that I wanted to participate. Then I went home and expressed my feelings to my mother. She gave me a suggestion and told me valuable and powerful words and motivated me and made me feel strong. For example, she told me that people who achieve success and their lives have patience and think deeply about their actions. They take everything seriously and as a result everything becomes pieces of cake for them. But nothing is spontaneous. Everyone has to work hard. Those motivational sentences she shared with me made me feel confident. When I participated, I won first prizes and I felt like I was on a mission.
