People will stare.

When anyone steps away from the crowd, people will stare. Different. Other. Weird. Don't let the fear of the stare stop you from going to the places you know you need to go. A lot of those stares are from people wanting to pursue their own dreams, but they don't know if they can make it.

Show them that you can, and in so doing, teach them that they can.

The stare image is circa 1904. It is artist Walt Kuhn and was taken by Pangborn Pangb. More information can be found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Kuhn
