The True story of Monty Roberts Story: DETERMINATION
I will tell you a story of my friend Monty Roberts.
As he was a kid, his father as a horse trainer was moving from stable
to stable, from ranch to ranch, training horses. Thus, the boy‘s school
career was constantly interrupted. One day, when he was a senior,
teacher asked him to write about what he wanted to be when he grew up.
He did not hesitate a minute and wrote seven-page paper about his aim to
be an owner of a horse ranch, he wrote many details and drew a location
of buildings and stables and even a detailed house plan.
Two days later he received his paper back with letter „F“ on the
front page.
After class he came to teacher and asked: „Why did I receive an F?“. The teacher responded: „This dreams is so unrealistic for a boy like you, who has no money, no resources and who comes from itinerant family. There is no possibility that you will reach your great goals one day.“ Then the teacher offered to rewrite the paper with more realistic attitude.

The boy went home and asked his father, how he should act. The father
answered: „This decision is very important for you. So you have to make
your own mind on this“.
After several days the boy brought the same paper to his teacher. No
changes were made. He said: „Keep the F and I will keep my dream“.
Now Monty Roberts owns 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of
200-acre horse ranch and he still has that school paper, which now is
framed over the fireplace.
Remember, you have to follow your heart and never let anyone take your dreams away.
