Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too. - Mark Twain

Inspirational quote of the day by Mark Twain.

Think of your ambitions as plants. Negative people are like weeds that try to strangle your dreams. They have not succeeded in realising their own dreams, and they will fill your mind with their failure mindset. Stay away from these people.

Positive people however, see your potential, and encourage you to pursue your dreams. They boost your confidence and believe that you can achieve your goals, and when you do, they are genuinely happy when you succeed. Keep the company of these people.

Avoid negative people, and stick with positive people.

Mark Twain (1835-1910), the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was an American writer and author of two major classics of American literature: "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."

During the creation of "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," Twain faced substantial criticism from those who found the novel controversial and challenging. The small minds disparaged the book for its candid portrayal of societal issues, but Twain, a great mind himself, persevered. Instead of succumbing to the negativity, he surrounded himself with like-minded individuals who appreciated the depth and social critique within his work. This work has endured as a classic in American literature.
