CONSIDER, DON'T CARE!

Hello Successful individual, just before you have your Brunch, let's converse.
This topic is borne out of a statement most Youths make: "i don't care what they say about me".
Well, I used to say that too, until I realised the danger in walking in that reality.
Sometimes, people talk out of envy and just call you all sorts of things. not because it is true, but because they are born talkers; they just have to talk, and God bless the person beside them at their talkertive moment. But there are also some people who lash you with their words, but although they sound so harsh, it's the truth.



NOW WHAT SHOULD I DO?
The right thing to do is to CONSIDER what they say, but don't CARE.
Condider- to think about seriously; to look at attentively.
Care- To pay close attention; concern; responsibility; WORRY.
These two words almost mean the same thing, but in the actual sense they don't. The element of "WORRY" in the word "CARE", already rules it out.
Don't let what others say weigh you down.



But consider what they say. If they say you're proud, check yourself, Am I Really Proud?, but don't go under your blanket, seeing yourself as a bad person already.
Now, NOTE: People's opinion don't define you. Their definition of your action may not be the real definition of your action. People define your actions based on their own perspective.
As a lady, if a guy walks up to you on the road, to have a conversation with you, but you have something really important you are rushing to attend to; maybe you're running late to pick up your younger siblings from school, or you really have to change your sanitary towel- if you say to the guy in the most polite manner: I'm really sorry, but i have to attend to something hurriedly; he might still call you "PROUD", because from his perspective, that is what your action depicts.
Same goes for guys too. You say "hi" to a lady with the intention of just appreciating her beauty, but she is so quick to judge that she rushes to say "I'm not interested".
Do you understand now? People define your actions from their perspective, and sometimes, their perspective is not wrong. So, check yourself when people say both good and bad about you. Are you really what they call you? Are they really just trying to bring you down? Are they trying to flatter you?
Condider, Don't Care; because Caring brings Worry and Worry weigh you down!
Strive to be polite in speech and actions. Try to see things from the viewpoint of others.
Be considerate!
You can have your Brunch now! (wink).
