Do you want to be a laborer, or do you have bigger dreams? Nothing wrong with being a laborer if that is what you want. But if you are choosing that because of your stutter, you are going to be unhap...

I think what he’s hinting at is you need to take ownership over the problem and not spend your life basically accepting / being mad you can’t speak on the phone and stuttering defines your entire exis...
