  This young CEO turned down a $1.5 BILLION offer from Mark Zuckerberg. Everyone said he was crazy. Zuckerberg was furious , he threatened to copy the entire product and vowed to crush the company . But today t hat same company is worth over $13 BILLION and it’s 10x better. Here’s how one bold “NO” rewrote tech history forever: In November 2013 , A 23-year-old Evan Spiegel, co-founder of a rising photo-sharing app called Snapchat, flies to Los Angeles for a private meeting .

  A bottle of water is $1 at the store, $2 at the gym, $4 at the airport, and $7 on a flight. Same water, different price tag, why? It ain't about the water , it's about where it's at . when you feel like people ain't seeing your value, it ain't cause you ain't worth much .   It's be cause you in the wrong spot . Maybe you ain't around the right crowd, maybe you stuck in a place that ain't built to recognize what you bring. So next time you feel underestimated, stop doubting your worth.   Ask yourself, where am I standing? bec ause if a bottle of water can be worth $7 just by switching its location , imagine what happens when you put yourself in the right place . Stop settling for less . Find where your value matches your ambition. And don't waste time trying to convince people who ain't got the vision to see it. Keep it moving. Sometimes you got to leave to level up.  

Gratitude The Cure for Restless Hearts

  The married ones are thinking of divorce , while the unmarried ones wish to be married . The unknown crave fame , while the famous just want privacy . The young want to grow old , while the old wish they could turn back time . The poor want to become rich, and the rich , they spend their nights wishing for the peace they lost chasing wealth . The healthy take their bodies for granted , while the sick would give anything for just one more day without pain . You see, the grass always seems greener, but nothing grows without watering what's already yours. The truth is, no one has it all, but everyone has enough. If only they stopped and took a moment to see it.
