Never let somebody tell you that you can't do something.

Absolutely! I hate it when someone tells me I can't do something, especially when I know I can. I will do it just to prove them wrong. There are way to many nay sayers in the world, we need to start encouraging one another and start saying yes to can instead of no you can't. My favorite saying is "if you think you can or if you think you can't you're right." I prefer thinking I can.

I have never care for what other people told me. As long as i believe in something myself, i won't be bothered much by other people, unless its many people telling me the same thing. Then i will start to hesitate.

The world has so much to offer us. When we let someone try to put us in our place we can lose sight of what could be out there waiting to be discovered by us. it is so mich more worthwhile to be empowered and motivated instead of draggged down or looked down upon. We take away a little piece of our hearts when we allow somweone to tell us that we can not acomplish something. that just makes me want to set them straight.

I agree with you on that. What matters should be what you think is best that you can do, and that you should be a able to do something to make it possible to happen.

ya for sure it is demoralising and not the right way to allow somebody to take advantage over us.we should reject it always for sure

That's a good phrase to always remember, but sometimes it's hard to have a positive outlook when the people that are supposed to be supporting you and encouraging you are always telling you that what you are doing ain't worth nothing and don't mean anything. This type of negative criticism can cause some people to abandon their dreams. I was constantly being told that about my writing and my crafts. I heard it so much that I stopped with my writing and only worked on my crafts when I was alone. Then a couple of years ago when I decided to go back to school it all started all over again. You're to old to go back to school and you're wasting your time. My husband and his family don't think that being happy with what you're doing is important, the important thing is just working. They also think that writing and making crafts is a bunch of nonsense and a waste of time. If they're not interested in it, it's a waste of time. I've started back with my writing and crafts. I'm going back to school and working towards my degree. I've come to the conclusion that as long it's something that I enjoy and a dream of mine, no-one has the right to tell me it's a waste of time. If you have the talent and the desire anything is possible. Don't let peoples negative thoughts and comments stop you from pursuing your dream.

I think you're absolutely right, and you should never allow another person to tell you that you can't do something. The only person who knows what you are capable of is yourself, and even you might underestimate the things that you can do at times. If there is something that you want to do, then you should make sure that you try your hardest before you give up, because the only way that you're going to know whether you are going to be able to do it or not is to give it everything that you've got before you give up on it.

But of course, we should believe on ourselves before anyone will believe in us. Self confidence is the best tool to prove everyone that they are wrong for misjudging. No matter what it takes- self confidence should be the last thing that anyone can take away from you.

In my experiences throughout my life, I have found that those times in my life where someone has told me that I couldn't do something, it has only given me more drive to achieve those things I was told that I would not be able to do. For example when I was in eighth grade I had a math teacher that did not think women should succeed in science and math and thus would not sign for me to take biology as a freshman until I had passed his class with a B average or better. Well, this made me work harder in his class to prove him wrong. I ended up passing his class with a high A average.

Well, I will comment your interesting thread, from what you have written in the title. That is: "Never let somebody tell you that you can not do something." I just want to say my opinion inherent in this sentence. I can also let someone do me a similar speech inherent in something that he knows, and I do not know. But an ordinary person, be it a friend, rather than a family member, does not have the right to tell me this, if they could openly show. This is my logical thinking! Maybe I'm wrong?

I agree when people try to bring you down it should spur you on to be successful. I think some people are trying to be helpful, and if I fell they have merit in what I say I will listen. I will decide what path I take.

I agree! Because nobody can dictate your abilities and capabilities. Because you're the one who really know yourself most and what really you are capable of. :)

always say yes i can

When it comes to our passions and dreams i agree that we shoud not give up. We will never reach them if we just give up. What ever any one says or thinks will not change what you want so do not allow it to. Keep striving for it.

You maybe right in some points,yet you you were definitely wrong to say that you would never let other people tell you can not do something,because these people inspired you to do something more than what they expect you can only do.Remember than saying sorry do not start until you have made a bad thing against other people,do not tell me you have never been humiliated with a degrading words from your peers,that is why you like other people not to be down by another group of people.If you were really a born hard working person,why not hear others adore your being so industrious and just keep your mouth close because all people knew you are one of the riches person in the area.

That's right. When people around you keep telling you that you're not fit for a job or can't do something it really brings your confidence down as well. Even if you were brimming with confidence, it makes you question your abilities. I have faced it myself and had a really tough time coming out of it. So now I don't give others a chance of commenting on my capabilities. Never show reveal your weaknesses in front of others. That's how you can avoid it I guess.
