Nahikari García: “With Vero I saw that it was possible to reach the top.”

The forward born in Urnieta, top scorer of Real Sociedad in recent years, has also found in medicine a great calling.

"Did you come to Donosti just for the interview?" Asks Nahikari García, forward and one of Real Sociedad’s captains, when the over than 40 minutes of talk conclude. That humility surprises. That tone of surprise. On the other side of the window of the Harrobi de Zubieta cafeteria, it doesn’t stop raining heavily. It is inevitable to comment on the typical - and topical - weather of the Basque Country. “Last week we played against Atlético de Madrid and the National Team teammates always ask me that if it is very bad, that if it is this, that if it is the other ... And they came and it was very sunny! A great weekend!” She says smiling.

While I collect the pages full of questions, Núria - who has been taking photos the entire time - is interested in the forward’s musical taste and readings. “I really like reading. I read Dime quién soy and I really liked it. About music, I like Leiva, ” says Nahikari. From there, a small tour around the facilities of the Ciudad Deportiva begins, with the aim of concluding the photoshoot. We talked about her injury, how could it be otherwise, and one of the physiotherapists makes an appearance. "I doubt you take it well," she says jokingly while Nahikari remains facing the camera.

But the fact that we are there, not only responds to Nahikari being the top scorer of Real in recent years. Nor to have debuted with the absolute selection. The young attacker born in Urnieta, beyond a rival’s goal, has a medicine career in her eyes. Forging in this profession with the aim of exercising when she stops scoring goals. And that is why, 45 minutes before, I decided to start the talk with that topic.

Is it hard to combine football and studies considering that you’re studying Medicine?Well, I don’t know if it’s because I study Medicine but it’s true that lately it has been. When I started the career I was already at Real, but the demand has been bigger in the past few years. Also because women’s football has changed so much this past few seasons and it demands more hours to train, more requirements. Being with the National Team, it also takes away your free time. It gets harder to combine but I’m not in a hurry either.

And it’s 6 or 7 years... And then the MIR... All that if you’re up to date... You see...

And then, when you finish your career, what do you have in mind? Well, I’m not thinking about that yet because I know that it’s something that’s gonna take some time. Besides, I still see myself playing football for years. If everything goes well, I have more seasons to play. Now my goal is to finish my career and then when it’s time for the MIR, I’ll prepare for that. It’s true that life goes around but I would like to carry out my specialty and do that in the future.

So, that specialty is sports medicine? Yes. I like that because it’s what I know and what I see here. I think that we’ll see later on. Once you get into that world, you see and work in different specialties... However, in my head there are a lot of projects that I would like to try. Of course I would like to be connected to the sport because I love it, but I don’t know. Maybe I could be in a club, in a hospital or also at an ONG around the world.

Man, that last one... That would be really good!

With the growth there is in women’s football, have you thought about putting your studies in hold? Putting it on hold, no. Taking it more slowly, yes. For example, I don’t take every class every year. But I wouldn’t like to put it on hold. Although sometimes I can only take one class, I don’t want to leave it because once you do that, you disengage and it’s like you ignore it. So even if it’s little by little, I would like to always do something.

In most interviews, you talk about helping and learing. Are those the main reasons why you chose Medicine? Yes! To learn, no doubt. I like knowing new things and learning. And they say doctors don’t have much relationship with the patient, but I do like that part more human. Being close, lending a hand... At the end, it comes from home. My mom is a nurse and I’ve seen it since I was a kid. It’s something that always caught my attention. It’s a calling. No doubt.

The growth in women’s football and your studies have led you to make a lot of sacrifices, according to what you’ve said in other interviews. I’m not asking about what’s been the boggest sacrifice, but which one has hurt you the most? I don’t think they’re sacrifices as such. At the end, I do this because I like it. I see more as a bet. My luck is to be at home. I’ve played at Real my entire life but evidently, you miss out on important moments like family meetings or with friends... In my case, I couldn’t be at my grandfather’s funeral because I was at the World Cup in Costa Rica. Evidently, you think: “fuck”. Football gives me a lot, but it also takes a lot. I’m very happy to be where I am and to choose what I’ve chosen. And I don’t see neither my friends nor my family as often as I would like. Or my little cousins. - She laughs - My cousin always says: “Fuck, everyone tells me how cool it is that Nahikari is my cousin but I don’t like it because she’s training every day and I can’t see her.”

To dedicate to Medicine, you have to be cold blooded, precision on the diagnosis and treatment, not making mistakes... Is that very similar to playing as a forward? I was just about to say that! The comparison is good. Maybe, yeah. If you miss, the focus is on you, and on the other hand, if you got it right, you’re the best. And in that, with medicine there’s a lot of similarities. In both cases you have to know how to deal with the pressure and with those critical moments. One thing will help me with the other! I’ll nbecome an expert on this.

With a lot of people, and independently if you're successful or not, you start playing at parks and at school. But where does your passion for footbal begin? Well, it comes from home. My dad is a very big football fan. And so is my brother, even if he denies it! So that passion began at home. We had a park near and we met up with my brother’s friends there. We spent the entire day kicking the ball. Plus I would tell my dad: “Aita, I wanna go train. Let’s go train”. And he was there. Football is very vocational, You either like it or not. You live it or you don’t live it and me, for one thing or another, well it’s been my calling since I was a kid.

You started playing at Añorga when you were 9. Always as a forward? Yes, always. I was the smallest... Small and fast! So I think they put me as a forward to run.

In Añorga’s first team you’re from 14 to 16. In fact, you made your debut when you were 14... How was the debut? Well, we were in the Second Division and that was a great year where we won the league and we played the play-off for the promotion to First Division... It was very progressive because they really wanted to take care of me. Besides, I was also starting with the National Team. Euskadi’s as well as Spain’s. It was a lot of jogging and the coach I had back then, Juanjo, handled it very well. I was playing only halves at the beginning until there was a point where I said “fuck”. I was training, I was doing it very well... In the second round I started playing more and in the play-off I was in the starting lineup.

You talked in an interview that you never have to lose focus so you can stay on track. Where is Nahikari’s focus now? On continuing to grow and, above all, not losing that ambition to want to achieve important challenges. I don’t know how, when or where. But I do want to keep feeling that I’m moving forward and growing. I have goals and dreams to fight for. I think it’s always important having something worth fighting for, not getting comfortable and get carried away. I have that in mind and I know I have a long way to go, a lot to grow and a lot to still do in football. I work for that.

You also mention that you have to choose your role models very well, in case you lose focus. Who are yours? Well, beyond the people around you in the locker room, I’m very lucky to coincide in the National Team with people who have a lot of experience. For example, Vero (Boquete). I think they’re people who are doing very well in women’s football and so I look at that. That they’re very humble and hard-working people who have paved their path and, from there, they’re growing.

There’s a story in another interview that I really liked. Your mom came home with a newspaper with Vero in double page and that gave you strength to keep going... Yeah. It’s true. It made me realize that it was possible to reach the top. Nowadays we’re much more accesible and it’s easier to see that you can make it. But back then, I didn’t have many role models that were women players and professionals that were living from this. Seeing it there made me see that there were people who had made it and they pulled forward. It gave me hope. To say: “Nahikari... Go ahead with your drea, because it’s possible”.

You’re a Real fan... A Real fan...

A very big Real fan... Yes, yes!

That, in a game, does it help or is it worse? I mean, beyond the concentration itself, there’s an emotional component. Yes! Definitely. I have very strong feelings towards the club but also a very important one towards the team. We’ve managed to create a feeling of union and companionship that makes you fight for it. You’re not only fighting for the badge but also for a common goal that we set up. You say “Fuck... I run for me, but also for the one next to me. This is for all of us.” But obviously, that feeling is worse because you suffer so much more. When you win, everything is great; but when you lose, it hurts you so much more. And it’s, precisely, for that feeling of commitment and for everything that surrounds you. It’s important to manage it and revitalize it on several occasions.

The great knock that it is to win the Copa de la Reina. After doing that, did you feel like from that moment onwards people were going to expect so much more from you all? Yes. Definitely. Especially people from the outside. At the end, a lot of people have known us for years but others know us because they saw us winning the Copa. So, it seems like the demand is to win the league or to be in the Champions League, That’s why I think it’s important that we keep our feet on the ground and be aware of where we come from, what we’ve achieved and the path that we want to continue. All of this, of course we’re talked about and worked with our coach. I think we have to grow from having our feet on the ground and having clear goals. We want to be at the top but without driving ourselves crazy. Obviously, we’re the first ones that want to win every weekend and continue to grow. And we’re the first ones that would love to win the league but we have to be aware of where we are and where we come from. But, definitely, the ambition is intact.

Let’s go to that final then. The end of the game, that’s clear. Everything is euphoric. But at half time, with the game tied 1-1, how was it? Courage, silence... Well... we were silent because we were so tired! I remember half time, sitting in the ground and saying: “My God, we’re suffering so much”. In the first half we suffered a lot and in the second half we were better. The message was that we could win. With 1-1- at the half we had the game where we wanted it. We knew we were gonna get our chance and we had to keep holding on. And we did!

Finals hadn’t treated you very well... No...

Until this one. When you get the ball and you see yourself in that position, do the ghosts from the past come back? I say it because of that fatal mistake in the 2016 Euros... No. No way. I didn’t think in that moment. But it’s that, I had it clear that that ball was going in. I didn’t have any doubts about how I was gonna hit it or that kind of stuff. It was all very natural and super normal. I saw it clear. I knew where the ball was gonna go.

After the goal... were you aware of what you’d done? No! Not at all!

In that moment with all the players during the celebration, what do you say? You just made a comeback! Well, we told each other that we had to hold on! Cold head and keep doing the same. Because we knew we were doing very well and we didn’t have to change anything. Not to park the bus but not going forward too much either. Put pressure when we had to put pressure and hold on when we had to hold on.

From the front, how did you see Sun’s saves? Pf... suffering a lot. But we knew Sun was gonna hold us. She had been doing it all season and you saw her. I told her. That day she was super hyper motivated. She was with a lot of energy and when Sun is like that, you know she’s gonna have a great game.

Is it the best moment in your sports career? I’ve had really good and happy moments but I’d never felt such a feeling. Making my debut with the National Team was amazing. Playing the World Cup was amazing. But being able to culminate that moment with a goal... that was very powerful.

Last year and this year there’s been interest from other teams. First PSG. How real was that interest, considering the classic rumors during the transfers window? Fuck it was real... It’s because we played a tournament here. At the beginning everything looked like a movie. First, who was gonna tell me that PSG was gonna come to play a tournament here at Zubieta. Then, who was gonna tell me that they were gonna notice me and have the interest to sign me. In fact, we joked about it at home: “Can you imagine if a team like this comes here someday?” And when they did, well it was weird. Me, at first, I didn’t believe it, but there were talks between the clubs. At the end, it didn’t work out and I ended up winning the Copa at the end of the season.

And then it was Atlético. Were you close to leaving? You wanted the whole thing to end before the World Cup. Yeah, yeah. Defnitely. When we talked about the goal to grow, I’ve never lied to people from the outside nor to the people from the club. I would like to grow and live other experiences. If Real offers me that, then let’s do it. We’ll stay together and very happy. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give everything for this club. At that point, everything that had happened in the Copa and everything that that generated made me decide to stay. Everything was talked with the club. They’ve told me that when I feel the need to leave, they’ll open the doors. That reassures me. But I don’t know when that will be and if it’ll happen or not, because life changes a lot.

We’re moving to the National Team and it’s inevitable to think about the miss in that final vs France in the 2016 Euros. That has been talked about a lot. I’m interested the next game or games, when you have another clear chance. Did that miss become too much? Well, after that we had vacations and then I went back to Real. I tried to not give it too much importance and keep playing. I didn’t want to think about it again. But at the end, even if you don’t want to, you realize that your confidence isn’t the same. But I worked on it because I was aware of that. And I managed to change the situation! I think that a moment like the one I went through hurts you, yes, but it also helps you grow.

I read that you went to a sports psychologist... Yes, I was working with him.

At what point do you realize that you needed that kind of help? Well, I realized during the season. I was getting sick, injured... Things that I thought: “Fuck. What’s going on, Nahi?” Well, it was the lack of confidence. I knew that my character had taken me, in big part, to everything that I’d achieved and when I saw it diminished I said: “Nahikari. Something is going on with you and we have to fix this”. After that I started working. To be honest, it helped me a lot. Especially to relativize important situations. I grew and learned a lot from those moments.

Then, after that, you go two years without going to the National Team and you had coincided with Jorge Vilda. Did you talk to him about that absence? When the mistake in Slovakia happened, he was there with me and everyone protected me and they gave me their total confidence, a lot of love and we talked. But in those two years that I didn’t get called up, there wasn’t any explanation... He didn’t have to give me one either! Because I knew it was about my performance. When he called me up, it was because he believed I was in a good moment. With Jorge, we’ve always had a close relationship and we’ve talked about many things. I think he trusts me too, but I don’t think he has to explain to me why I wasn’t called up during that time

Either way, you came back in a big way at the Wolrd Cup in France. In fact, you and Lucía (García) coming in against South Africa, changed the course of the game. What does it feel to get to the locker room knowing that you were a big reason for the first win Spain had in a World Cup? Well, it was a rush. Being able to win the first game in a World Cup is very important. It seemed like everyone was counting that we were gonna do it, but the games have to be played. Spain was coming off from not winning any games in the last World Cup. We knew it was a clear goal and I lived it with the same happiness as the rest of my teammates. With the plus that I made my debut in a World Cup.

Against China, you qualified for the knockout stage. Was it bittersweet, that qualification, knowing you had to play the US? Yes... But mostly because of the feeling we had. We had a great feeling against Germany... Of playing football so well...Of competing so well... But China parked the bus, you have chances but you can’t score. Our goal at the World Cup was to make it past the group stage. We were very happy for reaching that goal but then you know that you have to play the US and it’s a hard.

Against the US we lose in a very unfair way. Did it hurt more losing that game than a final that you’ve played? Yes and no. Because at the end, it makes you very angry losing and leaving the World Cup like that. It was a general rage because we have a very competitive locker room. We went to win that game and it didn’t matter who was in front. At the end, we had a feeling of knowing we were getting close because we competed against them. It makes you see that you’re doing things well... But it makes you very angry. Especially after they scored two very unfair penalties. But I don’t know if it’s worse than losing a final!

And frankly, after a few hours or days have gone by, what positive conclusions do you draw for the next Euro? Because I imagine you drew some... Of course... Besides those games give you a lot of growth. We’re a very young National Team that was playing in their second World Cup. Doing it like that is very good and we have to be aware of where we come from and have our feet on the ground. From there, keep going and a lot of ambition. We’re a very ambitious group and we have to do it as best as possible. The World Cup, we take it as experience and now the focus is on qualifying for the Euros.

Well, we leave football, Nahikari. Let’s go with other type of questions. First about your personality... You say you have very bad temper. Yeah... - She laughs -

But that has given you a lot of success. Yes! That too!

And any bad moments? Well, yeah... But because I’m very competitive and I have a lot of character. But you learn from that too, For example, you have to manage how you say things. Sometimes, how I’ve said things hasn’t been in a good way and that has given me more than one conflict that you work out and just leave it at that. But since I got here at 16 years old until now that I’m 22, I’ve always had bad temper. But I think I’ve leanrt to manage it and reduce it!

Beyond fighting, you’ve reiterated a lot that you’re here to learn. What lesson has Nahikari learnt on and off the pitch? Well, I’ve learnt so many things in that way... For example, to believe. My team, last year, taught me to believe. Without a doubt. If you believe in something firmly, you can achieve it. That’s how the Copa de la Reina came. And also, that you always get another chance. And especially as a forward. I stay with that too. There will always be another chance, another game, another moment. You learn many things in football! But this sport has also taught me that it’s the least important thing out of everything that I care about in life. That there’s life after football. You come back home and your family and friends are waiting. You have to give value to all these aspects. I’ve always thought about things too much and I give football a lot of importance... So you have to know to differentiate well and know that you have a life when training or a game ends.

And when you finish training or playing and you leave Zubieta, how is Nahikar’s day when she doesn’t have to go to college either? Well I’m a very calm person. I like being with my family and friends. Go to Donosti and walked around the beach. I also like reading and listening o music. Especially laughing. I like being with people that I love and I love talking! Have interesting conversations and laugh a lot.

I’ve gone through all the questions that I prepared and we’ve talked a little about the injury... Núria. Do you want to ask something? Because it’s raining a lot... We’re not gonna see Donosti much... Did you come to Donosti just for the interview?

#i was gonna translate the whole interview but i can't rn sorry #her interviews are always so interesting #nahikari garcia #football

This is a must-read for whoever drooting for Nahikari. Nahikari García Pérez (1997, Urnieta, Guipuzcoa, Euskadi) is a footballer who plays as a forward in Real Sociedad and in the Spanish National Team. At 22 she has lived many experiences that have made her mature at a personal level in an accelerated way. She is a restless, humble person, committed to learn and improve every day as an athlete and as a person, competitive, ambitious, non-negotiable values, committed to her club, her team, her colleagues, her culture … I asked Nahikari to give me his testimony personal, because it can be a mirror in which to look at any boy or girl who has the dream of going far in what she decides to do. Professional player, student, restless and self-demanding person My name is Nahikari García, I am a Real Sociedad player and a medical student at the University of the Basque Country. With only 16 years I had the opportunity to debut in the first division, and since then I combine my university studies with my sports career. Since my arrival in the first division, women’s football has had an exponential growth that I was able to witness in the first person. Now I am 22 and things have changed a lot, although there is still a long way to go. Many will ask how you can take the requirement to play in the top category along with some university studies . But that is the reality of most of the players of the Iberdrola League. And to me personally, it’s something that I love. It is not an easy task, it requires a lot of effort and sacrifice. But in this time I have learned that if a good balance is achieved between both things, it can be very positive both for sports performance and for mental state . You learn to disconnect, know how to differentiate the importance of each thing in each moment, and above all it helps you not to lose the perspective of the future. We all know that this sport has an expiration date, that there is a later date, and that by the time it ends, we have to be prepared. I am a very self demanding person, so sometimes, being competent in two powerful contexts can play a trick on you. That’s why I got the right balance. As I said, in recent years we have grown a lot, the level of demand and dedication has increased and that “forces” to have to prioritize . Even so, at no time have I considered leaving the studies aside, since I am aware that learning to carry out both things has helped me to be where I am . Many sacrifices that compensate, know how to work for goals postponed in time It is not easy to reach the highest level: it requires a lot of work, dedication and effort, that is, having to leave many things aside. You know that you will not lead a life like the ones around you, weekends traveling, without seeing your friends, summers without holidays, family meals you can not attend … A different life that undoubtedly deserves the sorrow. When I look back on my short career and remember all the countries I’ve traveled to, all the people I’ve met, the bad and good times I’ve lived and made me learn so much, do not allow me to see everything that effort as a sacrifice, but as an investment. An investment that translates into impressive personal growth. I can say with total certainty that I feel I do not stop learning at any time, I learn from the people I surround myself with, from what I live in day to day, when I win and when I lose. For me, one of the keys to being able to reach the elite and to be able to achieve the objectives that one sets is to not lose focus, know where you want to be and what path you should follow. For that reason I consider it important to choose your referents well and know how to surround yourself with people you can trust and know how to redirect you when you deviate . Many of these people are from your family. But not everything is to arrive, many people reach the First Division. The really difficult thing is to stay. And there comes a very important factor, which is the mental aspect. When the level increases, the demand is increasing, own or internal and also external, and knowing how to take it is not always easy. Learning from the difficulties In 2016, I suffered one of the most complicated situations of my sports career . We had arrived for the third consecutive year to the final of the U19 European Championship , we played in Slovakia against a star-studded France and we came to make a championship almost perfect and eager to take our first gold medal. All a high end! That day we were losing 1-0 to the rest, but with good feelings and the whole second part ahead. Then the surrealism began. During the break the universal flood that flooded the entire field fell and caused them to spend more than an hour debating whether to continue playing or suspend the game. Finally they decided that we should play, and that’s where we went, to fight in a field full of water. As soon as the second half started, I failed a penalty that I had caused. Their second goal came and, later, we scored. Minute 90, 2-1 on the scoreboard and comes the play that, surely, more will mark my career (not necessarily in a negative way). After a shot from the edge of the area, the ball is dead just over a meter from the goal line, and there I was. Easy: push it, 2-2 and we would play it on penalties. But it was not like that. The ball went over the crossbar. In this way, the possibility of taking the gold collapsed and, with this, as I would later prove little by little, all my confidence and security. At that time, despite everything, I felt the affection of many people and felt the team close, very close, zero reproaches for what happened. I thought I was fine, I kept telling myself that these were things that could happen and that I would forget them. But the reality was another, because it influenced my way of playing and even my way of being, it affected my character. It took me a while to recognize it, but once I did it, I got down to work and began to work on other factors, I started to work on the mental aspect, my emotions, thoughts and feelings on the field. Things that maybe until then had not given much importance.  In my style of play, my personality had always been very important, since I am aware that my strength is not technique or dribbling. I am a person with a lot of character, a very, very competitive player. After what happened in Slovakia I felt that all that personality, which had led me to compete with the best and made me be a different player, collapsed . Then there began the work I was talking about before, a job of internal reconstruction, of growth, emotional and mental , to find myself again. I think I got it, after two years without being with the national team, last September I was summoned for the first time with the Absolute Team. And now here I am, among the 23 chosen to play a World Cup. I’ve had less good times, but surely without them I would not have been where I am right now. And I think that in the end, those moments make us learn and value things that maybe we did not value before . Failure makes us grow, makes us better. I have been working with professionals for over two years. First, I did it with José Carrascosa individually, who taught me to face that doldrums and control my thoughts . And this last year in the Real, we have been working with Jon Berastegi in improving the handling of emotions . Interestingly, this year we have been champions of the Copa de la Reina. I do not know if it is chance or not, but what I have clear is that it has been a fundamental aspect in the growth of the team, collectively and individually. Being a team, the union between companions, is key During these years I have had the opportunity to be in different teams within the Real. Also, in different categories of the selection. Therefore, I have shared clothes with many people, all of them different from each other. I have learned that the union of a group can lead to extraordinary things, such as a Copa de la Reina. Above all, I have realized that, within a team, without the person next to us, we are nothing. No matter how infinitely good you are, if you are not surrounded by a group of people who accompany you, believe and trust you, you will not get anything. The good of the team is ALWAYS above all and of all, and that is a maxim that we should all have very clear. When the group has a clear and common goal, in which they join hands to try to get it, it is difficult to escape. Nothing is possible if you do not work as a team. The attainment of the title of the Copa de la Reina has been a very important event within the club, since the football section had been winless for 32 years. For me it has been very special to be able to win a title with my team of a lifetime. A dream come true. And in what way, too! Commit and take responsibility is an opportunity to learn, identify, be unique and different When you defend the shirt and the shield of YOUR team, besides being something nice, it is a responsibility, it is a backpack that you have to know how to wear, and more when you see yourself in the group of captains. I consider myself a very emotional person, which leads me to suffer double defeats and to value victories a lot. I like to get involved in the projects, help in the growth of the team and feel part of it. These years I have always learned from the people that I have had around and from the experiences that I am living. In this last year I have felt in first person that being a captain is much more than putting on a bracelet for 90 minutes . Actually, that’s the least of it. You have to be aware that your image is constantly projected as an example, for better or for worse. The captain is the person in charge of uniting, listening and helping . Although it is said easy, it is not always easy. I think that besides seeing it as a responsibility, it is also important to consider it as a learning opportunity. Because without any doubt, the person who acts as captain is the most enriched, because it does not stop being a constant learning and growth . Live football more professionally, a qualitative leap As a team we have made a great leap, since a year and a half ago, with the arrival of Gonzalo Arconada to our dressing room. A coach who until now had only trained in men’s football, but who came from the elite, having trained First and Second Division clubs, among others. This gave us a different approach, a level jump. It allowed us to see football from a more professional point of view. It has given us more intensity in training, demand and concentration . He has put a lot of emphasis on taking care of our way of acting. In addition, he has also conveyed to us the importance of taking responsibility for the image we show towards others.  We started to be references, and assimilating it is a job in which Gonzalo has deepened a lot in this last year. It has given us tools to understand that the attitude and image we show every day also shows the commitment we have towards our profession and, more important if possible, towards ourselves . And that is something we needed. The demand for everyone in this time has been greater and that has made us better. Growth of women’s football There is no denying that the growth of women’s football with the entry of televisions, sponsors, the biggest investment of clubs … in recent years is being brutal. But it is equally undeniable that there is still a long way to go and many barriers to break down . We are taking steps forward little by little, and I think one of the keys is that we are doing it hand in hand, knowing that we have a common goal and collective benefit . In sight are the constant displays of affection between clubs and rival players after the achievement of important achievements. And this, I hope, is one of the values that we never lose. Fight for your own dreams To all those girls and boys who start their journey, if they like and are excited about what they do, I would tell them to fight for their dreams . That objectives are set, that they have a clear focus to look at and pursue it with their eyes closed. Let them enjoy the path and learn from the obstacles that will be found in it . It will make them grow, reflect and mature. It will make you better. Those who take obstacles as a form of learning will be close to true growth. I would like to convey to you that every effort will be worthwhile , that everything in this life serves to learn and that from all that we have lived and felt we can draw positive conclusions.
