The only person needing proof is yourself.
Prove yourself wrong.
Surround yourself with people who have dreams, desire and ambition; they will help you push for and realise your own.

Surely there is progress when you look back. When you know you’ve put in love.
For years, I opened my 11th-grade U.S. history classes by asking students, “What’s the name of that guy they say discovered America?” A few students might object to the word “discover,” but they all knew the fellow I was talking about. “Christopher Columbus!” several called out in unison.
“Right. So who did he find when he came here?” I asked. Usually, a few students would say, “Indians,” but I asked them to be specific: “Which nationality? What are their names?”
Silence.
In more than 30 years of teaching U.S. history and guest-teaching in others’ classes, I’ve never had a single student say, “Taínos.” So I ask them to think about that fact. “How do we explain that? We all know the name of the man who came here from Europe, but none of us knows the name of the people who were here first—and there were hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of them. Why haven’t you heard of them?”
This ignorance is an artifact of historical silencing—rendering invisible the lives and stories of entire peoples.

A wrong turn lead me to a field of flowers and suddenly I’m second guessing every wrong turn in my life.
Every wrong turn has lead me to where I am currently, and I am happy as hell, so were they really wrong turns?

A Chilean artist has been jailed after dyeing a famous hot spring in Iceland pink with food colouring. Marco Evaristti, the South American artist who is based in Copenhagen, poured red fruit dye into the Strokkur Geysir, found around 70 miles to the north east of Reykjavik, at dawn.When they boiled, vibrant pink steam blew up from the ground as a result. Professing that ‘nature belongs to no one’, he did not seek permission from local authorities before the stunt. He has since been jailed for two weeks after landowners lambasted his efforts as ‘vandalism’
