The biggest mistake in life is when we start believing more on the judgements other people make about us,rather than our own judgements about ourselves..
We have always been taught that its more important what people think of u and not what you think of yourselves..
The moment you start living your life with this principle..your downfall is sure to begin...because people judge you according to their nature,their level of thinking,their attitude towards u..(invariably its jealousy),the preconceived notions about you...So once you rely on these judgements its like self-deprivation..
So..its always advisable to believe first in the reflections of your own self rather than reflections of you in the minds of other people..

Character is what you think of yourself where as image is what others think of you.

ReplyDeleteI concur with your thoughts. And to add to it,I think, we all do things in life so that we are judged by others the way we want them to judge us and only when their judgements don't reflect what we want from them, we get perturbed. Your essay reminds me of an interesting video of one my favorite authors Alain de Botton http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtSE4rglxbY

ReplyDeleteNIRZ,
ReplyDeletei read ur 'dilemma'. and i think 'dilemma'is just an answer to this post.self esteem may converted to ego wen u stop thinking abt others judgements.there is a thin line between self esteem and ego...its very hard for being neutral while one thinks abt himself and abt his course of actions. thomas szasz said, "There is no psychology; there is only biography and autobiography."
