You don't need anyone for your self defination

What people think about you isn't nearly as important as what you think of yourself. I always encourage people to
be proud of who they are in spite of what everyone around them thinks. If you keep letting other people be the mirror throw which you view your world, you're not going to like what it would reflect. Don't be people conscious. Stop lending your ears to what that negative fellow has to say. If anyone tells you that your're not beautiful, just smile and ask them when last they went for an eyes check up because they probably need one. You are simply what you make of yourself!
WE are who we think we are, but sadly, most of us look at the world to tell us who we are. No one knows you better than you. You may look a little different, you may talk different, you may dress different, but that doesn't mean they are better than you.
Learn to stand up on your feet. Be strong and courageous, remember that fortune favors the bold!

If you look into the lives of great achievers, you will find out that they din't get to where they are today by listening to what everyone has to say about them. People will always talk is the fact, but you do have a choice of whether to listen or not.
