YOUR OPINION ABOUT YOU:
Are you hard working? Are you honest? Are you successful? Are you going in the right direction? Did you act appropriately?
The best judge to all such questions is YOU. It is very important that you should keep evaluating yourself. What “others” think of you is of lesser importance, because they can not know you as well as you know yourself. You should use other’s opinion just to give you additional ideas to think about, but please neither let opinion of others let you down or pump you up.
Here, another point can be considered. Some times, when you are involved in your own thinking, you may miss out some important points about yourself and opinion from others can be helpful. In this regard, it is ok to develop some scale of importance you give to other’s opinion. If in your judgment the other person is your well wisher, the person knows you quite well, the person has adequate knowledge about the subject, and similar other factors can be used to develop the amount of importance you should give to the opinion of others.
After taking every thing into account, please understand that whatever you think of yourself is the most important in your life and not what others think of you.
