Borrow this response o and say right back, infact agree sef so you don't even need to prove yourself with unnecessary talk
.

Just say: "It's true o, but I (include your name) will keep showing up till it eventually makes sense" then add THANK YOU with a BIG SMILE like this 😁

Shikena! We keep moving forward and upwards, no looking back or giving up in frustration, we are only allowed to look back as motivation for how far we've come and a propeller for the vision ahead

Cheers to your continued success 😙 you gat this (do like this 💪 in comment if you agree)
