What if I couldn't handle people's opinions of me? I know that shouldn't dictate a person's degree of peace or happiness in life, but the problem is, I chose a business saturated in judgment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are some people whose opinion I value and respect and it would be very bothersome if I forfeited their respect. But the general public? I'm not preoccupied with the opinions of others.
It's no good being too easily swayed by people's opinions. You have to believe in yourself.
What other people think about me is not my business.
Eventually, I'm going to be judged purely on my own merits.
The best way to avoid falling prey to the opinions of others is to realize that other people's opinions are just that - opinions. Regardless of how great or terrible they think you are, that's only their opinion. Your true self-worth comes from within.
I do not need to hear how I am judged by others. I know by myself if I can be satisfied or not with my work.
For your own self-respect and sanity, your creative freedom, you have to be careful that you don't rely too much on other people's opinions of what you do because it can stunt and inhibit you.
My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me.
I have no control over people's perceptions of me at all and that's one of the things I decided very early on is that I can't control the way other people think of me. All I can do, especially when it comes to my career is go out there and do cool unique kinds of things.
I conduct business, not dependent of public sentiment, but according to the rules of fair business.
