People striving for approval from others become phony.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The moment you sense someone is making something because they think people are gonna buy it or like it, it's just so phony! The public has a nose for phony like nobody else.
People who want the most approval get the least and people who need approval the least get the most.
People feel they are not participating in the decision-making process. Decisions are exclusive to those at the very top. You have grown up with crony capitalism and it creates ever more resentment.
Anonymity breeds meanness.
When political and business leaders tell the public - any public - 'We don't trust you to make the right decision' - they prejudice that electorate against the very proposals they want it to accept and undermine public confidence in themselves.
Anonymity is a universal convention of the blogosphere, and the wicked expedience is that you can speak without consequences.
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
I've always been looking for other people's approval.
Everyone wants to be liked; everyone wants approval. No one likes being ignored.
When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat.
