Remember Your Roots

Never forget your roots. Many people forget their roots as they grow older. Forgetting where they first started once they've reached a high point in life. 

A lot of people nowadays forget where they came from. No one was born high and mighty or perfect. We all had to do soul searching and give a lot of hard work to reach where we are today whether it be working hard to move up a in company, working hard in school, working hard to have a place in a family, working hard to prove oneself. I am sure all of us have lost dreams to share, hopes that got shattered, injuries and scars that we had and carried on proudly. 

Never forget where you started from because that is where it all began. 

If you were once trampled on, ignored, seen as nothing, scapegoated, you should never forget the pain. You should never forget it even when you become a CEO or someone big and powerful. You were once at the bottom of the barrel too. You spent sleepless nights working hard to move up and be someone in the world. 

When you see the younger generation struggling, you should not turn the other way or deny them help. Because you know better than anyone, that you were once in those shoes too and aware of what it feels like to be in that position. You should extend a helping hand - to give those who have talent and passion the chance that you were given. 

Roots define us. We would be swaying in the breeze if we didn't have strong roots. Experienced the failure, the struggle, the journeys, and the results...that's foundation of each and everyone's roots. Don't be ashamed from where you came from. Don't deny where you started and how you worked your way upward. It's what defines you as a person and shows your growth.
