...Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
Even the greatest have had to deal with these small people that Mark Twain speaks about at some stage in their lives. You can chose to listen to them or you can rise above them and prove them wrong. It is, of course, much easier said than done.
Sometimes these small people can be peeps you know well that think they are doing the right thing and helping you avoid disappointment, but they are the ones that cannot see or understand your dreams, which is really sad. Everyone has different idea's of what success is to them and sometimes it doesn't mean being rich and famous, or how many things you own. Sometimes its about the memories you make and things you experience. Either way, neither is wrong and none of us should be belittling anyone when it comes to their ambition, because its exactly that, THEIR ambition.
I'll leave you with this:
"To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself." Thich Nhat Hanh
