So what! If they trash talk you, is that supposed to define you? So you will put your life on hold, regret your actions, change your decisions, sink into depression and unhappiness because of some half baked story??? I have often wondered why humans (youth in particular) think they need other peoples' approval; no matter how hard they try, people will only know you as much as you want them to, So why bother what they say about you or think of you? People will always talk about your life, your beliefs, your family, your job, your choices, your failures and of course your victory..... that is their job!!!

A nation going to war has to count the cost of the war. If the arsenal of the country does not possess the weapons of warfare, the exercise could be a hollow ritual. In your own life, you have to discover your potentials. Potentials are those natural gifts of yours that can be developed. In order for us to discover our potentials and fully maximize them, we need to ask ourselves these questions: What are the things I do with less effort? What are the things that excite me? What are the things that make me feel agitated? What do I love to do for the rest of my life, even if I am not paid a kobo? What talent or abilities do my friends commend me for?
