2. YOU NEED
SOMETHING
BIGGERTHAN
SELF MOTIVATION
TO BE ANENTREPRENEUR.

In fiction, things need to make sense.
Line from my Daily Journal

4. I write my journal everyday, things that worked in my day and things that
didn’t work.
So this is the starting & only line in first page of
this years journal,
“Reality is different from fiction. In fiction, things need to make sense.”
But people take this in opposite way around. They think, in reality things
need to make sense, not in fiction.
Don’t listen to people make your own way.
Do things you love to do, it doesn’t need to make sense to other.
I have learned 6 amazing things from sports...
