Dream murderers are people who refuse to learn and optimize their own dreams. They discourage others from going ahead to make it happen. Why? Because they don't want go higher and they want everyone to be like them!

The tedium of existence and feeling imprisoned in a deplorable job can cause a person to consider the most expedient escape route from suffering including flirting with suicide. Fernando Pessoa wrote in “The Book of Disquiet” of his own feelings of uneasiness and sense of discouragement. “I suffer from life and from other people. I cannot look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten, and lost, with no connection to anything useful or real – only then do I find myself comforted.

If you fear doing something, don’t discourage others who are doing it.

Discouragement is not the absence of adequacy but the absence of courage.

Never be discouraged. The fact that you will be a winner at the first attempt is unclear. You don’t get master’s degree after attending school on the first day. You got to endure till you get there.

Those who lack courage are often the first to discourage.

My dear boy, looking like a thing has little to do with being a thing. Be the thing first, and you will grow to resemble it.

Do not allow any discouragement in your soul.

Don't be discouraged by people who tease you out of your dreams. What you have in your heart is bigger than what they have on their lips!

Disappointment focuses on ‘what is not,’ and completely misses the far greater reality of ‘what now is.
