Julia is depressed today.
Julia: I'mshavingsa hard time at my job.
Sergio: What's wrong, Julia?
Julia: My colleagues quickly get promotions while I always get
sidelined. I don't know what to do anymore.
Sergio: Don't give up so soon.
Julia: But I don't know what else I can do. I am willing to work hard but sometimes I make mistakes and the boss is not happy. He thinks I'm not capable.
Sergio: Mistakes are just lessons to learn from.
Julia: Tell that to my boss.
Sergio: Do you know Abraham Lincoln?
Julia: Yes.
Sergio: He grew up poor in Kentucky and barely had a year of schooling, but he went on to become the President of the US.
Julia: He was assassinated because of his views.
Sergio: He is known as America's greatest President. Do you know why? Because he fought against slavery and secession at a time in historyswheresothers were too afraid to do anything. He succeeded because of his ambition and generous spirit.
Julia: Well, if he can become President, then I can at least get a promotion.
Sergio: That's the spirit. Never give up on your dream.
