A 'friend' tells you to "Be Realistic". Here is why you MUST ignore them.

They are really saying 'be average, look what everyone else is doing, be like everything or everyone else. Real has no part in what they are saying! It's like someone going up to Trillionaire Rockerfeller and saying 'people are poor, you can only work for miniumum age, I mean look at them! Be realistic will you!" Ridiculous and horrible advice!
