You are certainly right, there are some friends that are destiny killers they will always try to discourage you from doing something different , because they lack confidence in themselves they will try to transfer that same negativity of theirs into you.

Every successful person I have come to know are always focus on their goals and set target for themselves to achieve, I follow my instinct and passion for something and I don't allow people to tell me what they think about what am doing . You must always believe in yourself and be ambitious in life to succeed in your set goals @moderpastor
