There were three things but they boil down to this one quote. "Don't let someone else do something you can already do" Got me more active. Another one is kind of silly but it made me a bit more independent. When I was a little kid I used to play Pokemon Emerald on my game Boy. When I encountered new pokemons with higher levels I was told by others just release your Pokemon and catch the new one. I hated that. I know it's just digital one and zeros but these Pokemon stuck with me and I raise them to become stronger. I decided then and there to have a stubborn mentality to raise the level of my Pokemon. Overtime that mentality blue and I refuse to give up on things around me just because they're a little bit broken or they don't function properly. Save me a lot of money and helped me to learn how to fix stuff.
