When life knocks you down; calmly get back up, brush yourself off, smile,
and very politely say "You hit like a bitch."

A
few days ago I posted an article on surviving
when you finally break, when you realize you must grow from life’s attritions.
I mentioned that you must be proud of the scars that forged you into a better
man as I explained the concept of Kintsugi or Kintsukuroi. One topic I didn’t
mention, one that is critical, is discretion.
In
this hyper-connected world where everyone vents their problems in social media
outlets and we get front row seats to meltdowns thanks to YouTube, people have
developed a morbid pleasure from watching others failures. All I can say to
this is the following.
Don’t!
Grow
from your mistakes and grow from your disaster. Just don’t give those who want
to break you the pleasure of succeeding. Don’t give in to those who want to
change you into someone less than what you could be.
Why do you have to be like others?Why do you have to be like they want you to be?
People
will hate you, just because you remind them how weak they are. They will try to
break you just because they think it will make them better by comparison. And
you might break. Just
don’t become what you hate when you overcome.
Smile
and forgive them. Nothing will annoy them more.
Well, one thing.
You becoming better than them. Success is the best revenge.
