Thank you note to TC
I grown up being a skinny kid, my Father died when I was 12 and just in that time my interest for bodybuilding was starting, I was all exited to see all those magazines and I wanted to be like all that guys, but without a father on my side and not having money to join a gym or eat right dream did not show on my door till latter time on my life.
Grown like a skinny kid is not easy, you get bullied, you are not popular and that affects you emotionally, you discover that this world is not easy and is hard to step further without falling, you discover that is not easy to find good friends and I guess that happens even for the popular guys.
Thanks to my family support I finished my studies and I got the opportunity to come to this Great Country (USA), my finances were stable and finally I was going to a gym and getting supplements, once again I stepped back, I got sick, I did not workout for a year and I lost the small gains reached, I started again at the end of May 2008, and I came to Bodybuilding.com, I was exited with the idea of pack some muscles even in my age, suddenly I found people that were doing great at my age, I started being in contact to one guy that I admired his dedication, strength and commitment to transform his body, I always will appreciate the way he changed my mind and the way to see the things, he left very good influence on me, for some reason we became friends at least that was my believe but the truth is for some unknown reasons in his mind I was (am) a stalker, I felt disappointed, agree, and frustrated.
Now a day I found that keeps succeeding in life with a prominent future, and I really feel very happy for him and his family, and the reason is that he left an important lesson of perseverance and the advice of never give up.
Life is made with circles, once that one of those circles is closed, you need to open another circle and not stay in the same circle spinning for ever, my friendship with him is closed and I am opening new circles in my life, but never forgetting the lessons that I learn, and ever thankful for the time I spent with this person and all the wisdom he provided me to bring the best of me each day. I will never forget that!
Thanks "TC"

That is a very sincere and insightful message. I, for one, appreciate that you shared it. I can better understand your motivation and dedication and admire you for it.
Just like you looked to other successful guys on here for inspiration, I look at you as one of the guys who inspire me. Thnaks
