I can't say either I'm normal or abnormal, but I don't have a normal eyesight. I think this is what keeping me unsuccessful. My applications abroad were not acknowledged. This is the only way I knew I could help my family. I can't also say I have a poor self esteem because I still did finish my studies and had worked in many companies, but unfortunately i couldn't stay for long. There were some people who tried to bring me down. I thought I'm not a worthy opponent because they have more advantages from me. Do you think I'm right about believing that I could be successful only if I can work abroad? or what should I do/think for me to be successful?

I don't think you will only be successful when you work abroad. Try to think of your life when you go abroad. Let's say you will go to US. You will be earning dollars. However you will be spending dollars too. What if your wage is only enough for your daily expenses, your house rent, your transportation fee, your food and everything, you can't still send money back to your family in the Philippines. If you say that there are people trying to bring you down, you are not alone, all of us has this kind of experience. If they bring you down, then make it as a challenge to aim high. Don't be stuck in the mud. If you fall, get up and move on. If you want to be successful, think of yourself first. You can't help a drowning person if you yourself is drowning. Life is a game, you are the chess master, and you should know how to play your king. Stay positive!

I think everyone has a chance to be successful. Recognizing your weaknesses is a good thing but trying to correct them is the better action than to surrender to these weaknesses. You are great, my friend. Cheers!!

It is only an eyesight! you still have your brains and your hands, don't let that eyesight be the hindrance of your success. Strive hard and focus on your career. Ignore others who put you down they will never help you. Don't show them what you can't do they will criticize you, show them what you can do and they will respect you.
