People don't have to like you and you don't need to care
Date: 1st June, 2022. Wednesday
Hello family, how are you all? Hope you are doing well and creating your own space of living. It's good to know and see you people working on your desired way and desired dream. That's how we work to achieve our dreams. But sometimes we face criticism while doing it. People around you may be not that much concern about your journey. However they have less feelings for you. After knowing their point of view, we feel odd and even upset. Well hello! It is not your fault and you have nothing to do with it. They are doing what they are capable of. Just show them that you are not interested as well. Always remember, people don't have to like you and you don't need to care.
Hey, buddy. I know that you had already faced that criticism, don't you? People around you have criticised you for a long long time. Not only you but also your mom and dad, grandfather and grandmother, other peoples too. What makes them feel happy is melting you people down or checking you in an upset mood. Such ridiculous. Now you need a difference or make a call against it. This is so simple. Just ignore their non sense thinking. Just walk away and don't pay any heed to them.
One thing you need to understand that everyone around you is not your friend. They will not understand the way you see the life, the way you are handling your problems, the way you are dealing with it and your future plans. The character is owned by you and none can play the role better than you. If you are the main character and playing the vital role, then you need to stop believing that everyone around you is your fan! No sir. They are not. Everyone is playing according to their will and there is no need to show much priority to anyone’s criticism. Why should you? You have enough responsibilities. Just move forward.
I clearly remember one incident. When I choose teaching profession over banking, there were too many people who criticised me for my decision. They approached to my cousins and said well and woe to them. Someone said that I'm wasting my talent. Well hello, ding dong! Here I am, leading a happy life and enjoying the world around me. I am happy with my students and they are happy with me. There is no need to say so and feel that way that I'm feeling sad or upset. I am all ok and leading my life towards my ending. There is no time to hear their creepy words and jealousy.
I know many people here who are working day and night without thinking or giving any attention to others. I personally know that you people have your lessons from life and critics. Let's be honest dears. It really feels awkward when someone criticise your good work but it feels too much good when we ignore their faces. If you ask me, I would say that I never felt bad ignoring them. It’s all about our mentality. I know my worth and I know very well what I am capable of. So, their words will not affect me. Rather I can do more creative things than listening to them.
People really don't need to like us. We must give them a reason to choose us over others. Maybe it will be not that effective but somehow we can be assured that we have done something great. We all know people will be ready with knife and words to dethrone us from our achievements. Is it really needed for them? Maybe or maybe not. But let's clap for them because we have learnt a lesson from our life. We can live without them, without their criticism and without their support. We should not consider them as our opponent. Prefer them as other dead things around you and move on. Just don't care about them. They don’t like you and you don't care. Simple equation.
All the pictures are snapped by me.
We should clothe ourselves with optimism. Don't let other people's negative remarks get into you. Teaching is a humbling profession. Those who don't have the gift of teaching would find it hard to understand why you chose that journey. Cheer up, sir! You are doing great!
