Thank you for this MJ, I saw this and it reminded me.

Not quite about business, but about video games.

I always was a gaming addict, playing about 8 hours everyday.

I kept telling my friends and family im going to quit and no one believed me.

I was mad at them at the time because I wasn’t any better, looking back, they had every right to doubt me.

Then I just quit one day, it’s been a few months and they’re in shock, some still think I’m lying.


They all believe me when I say I want to do something, after I proved them wrong.


Goes to show how done does beat doubt.
