At lots of points in my life, either directly or indirectly, I&#8217;ve been judged for that. And when I lived in small town Duncan, I was the only Asian guy in the entire school. I just didn&#8217;t fit in or look the part. But if I had let other people tell me what I could do, I never would have flown a plane when I was 12 and explored my ambition to become a pilot. Never would have achieved bronze in wrestling or taken up curling, soccer, hockey, you name it. Don&#8217;t give up on something because other people don&#8217;t accept the way you look. As long as you put your hardest effort into it and people can see a difference, they don&#8217;t care what you look like. There are times when people will judge you, but take it with a grain of salt because there are 7 billion people on this planet; one person judging you isn&#8217;t the end of the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\">\u201cI&#8217;m not a big buff guy.
