Do not let another person's opinion harm you. Be a source of good.How did Stanley manage to get his Ph.D. despite being in prison?30:22Stanley read research articles and papers day in and out in prison, dreaming and working hard to become a doctor. He then put together applications for education in multiple colleges; all except one were rejected. St. Louis University was the only university that accepted his admission after being released. He managed to complete his MBA and Ph.D. simultaneously, as the topper in class.

Do the right thing even if it brings you harm. Root into good beliefs and faith. Have patience and condition yourself to see multiple outcomes.QUOTES41:14-41:34“For me, I kind of had plans, A, B, C, D, E, and so forth. Like, if I wasn't going to get A, I was going to be okay. And so I think that's one of the tough things like people having their eyes set on a prize and not getting that is considered a failure. And for me, I had multiple things that I was going towards.”13:53-14:11“For most people that go through incarceration, it's like it just beached you down in terms of psychologically mentally, emotionally, to where you no longer have any feeling of self-worth or self-value or purpose.”RESOURCES MENTIONED ON THE PODCASTBook: From Prison Cells To Ph.D. by Stanley AndrisseCONNECT WITH STANLEYWebsiteCONNECT WITH MIKELinkedIn
