Chapter (4) Resilience Amid Criticism and Change

1. People leave you out in the cold and get mad when you learn to get warm by yourself.

2. Ask for help, and they laugh. Do it yourself; they hate.

3. Pain changes people; some become rude, and some become silent.

4. Pain makes people trust less, overthink more, and shut people out.

5. Everyone changed, now it is my time.

6. When people tell me I have changed, it is only because I stopped acting the way they wanted me to.

7. We live in a time where people get mad when you do not let them use you.

8. Notice how people change when they do not get what they want from you. You learn much about people when benefits stop for them.

9. People look so different once you do not care about them anymore.

10. People start hating you when they cannot control you.

11. When people cannot control you, they try to control how people view you.

12. Whatever you do, good or bad, people will always have something negative to say about you, and that is life.

13. They never tell the whole story, just the part that makes you look bad.

14. If they cannot find a bad story about you, they will create.

15. People who have no life will always try to start drama in yours.

16. You can do 99 things for some people; all they remember is the one thing you did not do.

17. No one sees how much you do for them; they only see what you do not do.

18. Some people will believe anything about you as long as it is negative, but if anything is positive, they will question it.

19. People who defend your name when you are not around are the most loyal friends you could ever get.

20. People will talk behind your back, so give them an interesting topic.

21. One wrong move, and everyone judges you.

22. If you are right, no one remembers. If you are wrong, no one forgets.

23. No one notices your tears, your pain, but your mistakes.

24. Nobody cares about your story until you win. So, first, win.

25. Everyone clearly knows how others should lead their lives, but none about their own.

26. Those who spend their time looking for others’ faults usually do not take the time to correct their own.

27. Some people focus on your faults like they do not have any of their own to work on.

28. Thinking is difficult, and that is why most people judge.
