When you stay confident and true to yourself, you may gain exceptional power to move even mountains ahead. I personally realize the power of self belief and I'm glad to share a story I tripped over during my time at the university years ago. Hope you gain mental power by setting your mind towards your goals.
An accused Jewish and Russian spy, Natan Sharansky spent 9 years in solitary confinement and used such the imprisonment time wisely by considering himself as a world champion chess player. This is a pretty weird goal for a prisoner whose opponents are limited, but the chessboard. In 1996, he beat the reigning world chess champion. This shows you that you can have anything you set your mind towards, regardless of the odds stacked against you.
