"Be cautious whose insults you take to heart"
-Michael Savage
This is one of my favorite quotes of all time. It is simple and to the point. However, those eight words grouped together say a lot. Throughtout life you will face difficulties with other people. It's inevitable. The way you handle these difficulties say alot about you. They expose your strengths and weaknesses. They show how much self-respect and control you are able to have.
So often we find ourselves allowing others to discourage and dishearten. We allow a few words or actions from others to manifest inside us and not leave. This is weak. Don't let others insults affect you. Most people who insult you do not matter much to you in the first place. Why should you let an insult from someone who doesn't matter bother you? The majority of insults shot out are false. Blow the insult off like it never happened. Don't let it worry or stress you.

What a great quote and I like you're comments about it. I think you could write a great personal essay about this, by the way!
