Be who you are
John Wooden states, "Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." This quote really interests me because it is true. Most people always worry about what other people think when that's not the case. I know i sometimes worry about what people are going to think of me at times but i think that's normal and that everyone has that feeling every now and then. We should all be who we are and do what makes us happy. Do not try to be the person other people want or expects us to be. If you act the way you really are and show your true personality it can be a reward because people are going to like you because your exactly you. If your a person that doesn't act like yourself just to impress other people, just sit and think, is it really worth it? No one should ever let another person change them into the person they want you to be if they are really who they say they are then they would truly love you for who you are and if they don't, then that person is not worth it no matter how much you think they are. Wouldn't life be so much funner if you do the things you like to do and live the way you want? I believe it is. So i say who cares if people think your weird, awkward or a little crazy, they just don't know what they're missing out on Because guess what, all these people are the most interesting and fun people out there in the world. I just wish more people will take the time to talk to them even if they are not they're regular crowd. I bet they will find more than what they were expecting and will love the change of scene and conversations. It can probably show you a different side of you that you never knew was there and who knows, you might like it way better and add that to your personality. I always wondered why we think we must act like a certain way for people to like us, when the truth is everyone wants us to show them who we really are, no one likes a fake person trying to be who they are not.

Marlene I love the quote you have chosen because I also believe it is true. Why should you worry about what people think as long as your happy with who you are it should not matter. Trying to be someone your not is a waste of time, who cares if people talk about you. People will always talk about other people no matter under what circumstance. Just be yourself and be happy.

ReplyDeleteI love your quote also.It shouldn't matter what others tell you or what they think of you it only matters what you think of yourself. This is why so many kids around the world kill themselves over they are to concerned about what other people think of them that nothing else matters. This is an inspirational quote in my eyes. I know many people have also questioned themselves because of someone ridiculed them for being themselves. Great quote!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you say that you sometimes find yourself caring what others think but then you say that you would be happier if you didn't care. It is a great contrast. The only suggestion I have for you is to be a little more lengthy and add some personal feeling to it.
