I would like to talk about a close friend of my mom who is an incredibly successful person and not only in her career but also in her personal life. My mom told me that when she was a kid becoming a dentist was her ambition. However, she was from an underprivileged background so she didn’t have many opportunities, especially the financial means to attend university. No matter how demanding and impossible it was, she tried to do her best. She always encountered various challenges, both financial and emotional, but she never gave up. Today, she is a dentist and she owns several private dental clinics in the center of various cities. Almost everyone knows about her and her business. days she doesn’t work as a dentist anymore, instead she only manages and or sees the operation of her clinics. She is one of the most highly accomplished people I know. There are several compelling reasons why she is a high flyer. Primarily this is because she works around the clock and she is also a resilient and grounded woman. Whenever my mom invites her to our home, I can’t wait to see her because she is a constant source of inspiration due to her determinations.
