i read this in a horoscope and the idea of being "better than you think you are" really inspired me. so to everyone out there who are not being treated right, you should learn to defend yourselves from people who love to put you down. always remember that there are good qualities in each of us that if we know how to make use of the talents and skills that we are blessed with, we can get ahead in our lives, and no one has the right to pull us down unless you allow it. we should not tolerate people who are insulting and who think they are better than everyone else.

this is absoutely right that you are better than you think bcause i think when i am good i am good when i am bad i am best . every person has a resirvour of powers in him the need is just to recognise that powers .you should learn to be positive in life . you can love me you can hate me but you can't ignore me.

I am reading a book "I Can't Believe I Just Did That," about things people do that they usually immediately feel self-conscious about. In this case, the person does the insulting himself. It told of an experiment where a college student was told to join a room of students wearing a ridiculous t-shirt. He reported that he felt very self-conscious about it, but when the other students were polled separately, most paid no attention. It reminds me of the "20-40-60" rule - by the time you are 20, you care very much what other people think of you. By the time you are 40, you couldn't care less what other people think of you. By the time you are 60, you realize they weren't thinking of you at all.

that is sad, being 60 and realizing you were not thought of at all =( i can understand about being self conscious then you realize other people do not really care about what you wear or how you look, they care more about how they look to others too LOL

I've been hearing this phrase quite often that it became my motivation everyday. I am a proud person in every way. I take proud in everything that I do and I find it hard to accept when a person tries to pull me down. When things get tough, I always tell myself I am a much better person that what you know. When I am pushing myself beyond my limit, this is also my motivation. I tell myself, I am better than what I think I am. It is a good thing that this inspire you. Hope you take this phrase with you always and strive hard to improve yourself.

yes that is true, you should think positive and believe that you are better than you or other people think you are. you are blessed with special talents and skills and you should develop them to your advantage. do not let anyone make you believe you are inferior, or useless, etc. you have the power to change your life for the better =)

Yes! You are right. Unless we allow somebody to pull us down, nobody can do it. We allow people to neglect us, by giving them too much of value when they don't deserve it. Every human being has same amount of capability, but it is in his hands how he uses it, whether uses it or not, when and where he uses it. Everybody should try to understand their own strengths and stand up right straight in front of any problem and say 'I can solve you' face to face. By this way, dependency on others reduces and others will identify your values! Never feel - you are inferior. You may not know something which others know. But you know many things that others may not know. So it is mutual relationship to help each other to learn. But if they are insulting you, it is your own right to prove them that you are a soul with great strength and have all powers than them! Good luck in understanding your own values!

Some people in life are just petty and we have to learn to ignore them and celebrate all that is good.
