Have faith, be you, be strong and do not allow anyone tell you different, there is no power strong enough to make you fail than the one you possess.
The beginning part of your life always doesn't matter and it will never determine how you turn out at the end of the day. We all mostly have a beginning that never really says much about how will turn out at the end. So stay focused and believe in yourself.
You become what you tell yourself and also become what you believe. Now if you tell yourself you will fail definitely failure will part of you. Positive thinking gives positive result and likewise negative mindset. Making headway inspite of mountains before you is based on your determination to succeed.
