A little inspiration from John Steinbeck:

Many ADDers, when young, hear adults tell them repeatedly they’ll never amount to anything. Hell, some people hear it their entire lives.

Interestingly, Nobel-prize-winning novelist John Steinbeck once had a professor tell him he couldn’t write, that he’d be an author when pigs fly! As a result, Steinbeck adopted a “motto”: ad astra per alia porci (To the stars on the wings of a pig). It’s reportedly printed in all his books.

I’m not suggesting Steinbeck had to overcome ADD/ADHD. I’m just saying that when it comes to life and career, pigs occasionally taxi out and take off. Good luck gang!
