What is your favorite quote?
It’s a little long but it has so much meaning. I believe that if you surround yourself with people that tell you you’re great, you will believe you’re great too.
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” ― Albert Einstein
