[00:02] beginning, then know that you have entered the wrong path.  If you think about any success story of someone you admire or who inspires you, you'll always find that their beginnings were difficult. You'll always find that at first, no one believed in them, maybe not even their family. But you'll always
[00:14] find that they, and all successful people like them, share one characteristic: they focus on what they're doing and don't pay attention to what people around them say. Often, we as young people fall into this trap, where we base our worth on other people's opinions of us. People's opinions can elevate us to the
[00:27] highest heavens or bring us crashing down to the lowest depths. And if you really want to crash down to the lowest depths, go tell people about anything you want to start. Then you'll hear the sweetest words, but what are these sweet words for? Herein lies the real test: either you shut your ears to what people say and stop listening to them and focus on your
[00:41] path, or you continue listening to what they tell you. But believe me, if you continue listening, you'll never afraid of the thing you want to start because you don't have the resources and you're still young. So what? All the successful people who inspire us
[00:53] now started small, and in fact, they might have started in circumstances a million times more difficult than ours. Look, people have nothing better to do than talk. Nothing pleases them, and they can't agree on anything. People have even blasphemed against God and associated partners with Him. They've even blasphemed against the
[01:05] prophets, the prophets who never err. And you're afraid people will talk about you? No, people will talk, and they'll keep talking. On the contrary, they might laugh at you at the beginning, but believe me, if you believe in yourself and chase your dream, they'll still talk about you, but this time when you've taken the first step and are succeeding. And always
[01:18] remember the Prophet's (peace be upon him) advice: "Be mindful of God, and He will protect you. Be mindful of God, and you will find Him before you. If you ask, ask of God, and if you seek help, seek help from God." And know that if the entire nation were to agree on something...  They cannot benefit you in any way except what God has decreed for you, and even if they all gathered to harm you, they could
[01:33] not harm you in any way except what God has decreed against you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried. So believe in yourself, take the first step, and throw people's opinions behind you. And believe me, they are the ones who will applaud you when you succeed. So use your head and trust in God.
