Theodore Roosevelt..
Life isn't always as beautiful
But I have learnt to work passionately and bring out the beauty of my work
Teni otedola once said-
It is virtually impossible to get everyone to like you, people just wake up and feel you should be discredited.. don't join in their banter, just work it and prove them wrong

I @annyvery1 wants to be with someone who is devoted and dedicated to becoming a better human and gives back to the society

Thank you @ejemai for this inspiration.. breath of relief that there are still good and dedicated people from Nigeria 🇳🇬 
I am definitely resteeming this

Bless you my boss. 

Those on the stand usually think they know how to do things more than those on the pitch.  If you allow their shout to affect your focus and you end up missing your target,  they will be the one to make the jest out of your mess.  

Why would you allow them to control or determine your destiny in the first instance. Your destiny is in your hand, never wait for others to determine it for you

I'm inspired by your words sir.

Great. It's true and there's no victory without the battle. There is also no great victory without a great battle. In order to achieve a higher height, we must climb the tall ladder that leads to excellence. Criticisms are good for corrections and we must take them into consideration, sieve them in the colander of our ambitions and accept or reject them. 

This post reminds me so much of a quote I learnt from my friend. "Failure is not the opposite of success, it is part of it." Thanks for sharing this re enlivening piece.

Lovely photo you've got there 


Waoow i loved the way u used  the pidgin there "In life, the critics rarely counts and the  oversabi never mostly amounts to anything"

This is a beautiful thought to dwell on... 
>If you are not playing the game, you cannot sweat and taste the blood and when you are not spectating, you cannot be shouting and dancing.

Maybe, both spectators and players deserve to be celebrated, perhaps they deserve some accolades

I'd love to add believe in yourself while you thread your path with courage and take heed to look straight on the longrun; lest you get distracted by sharp tongues........ Thanks for sharing this; It's a perfect motivation to get our ears on the edge

Thanks for the great post
It's all part of the process. And growth is an IMPORTANT part of the process, we have to grow into that person that can achieve that big dream. And to grow we have to feel PAIN.

Got no reasons why I have to criticise cos not everyone feels good when you tell them what's right so its better I shut my trap and just watch

Very true, the critics don't really count but sometimes they can make you be more calculative and professional in taking your steps. Not all critics are actually bad: some want you to see your short comings so that you can improve on them.

>Take criticisms well and seek constantly to learn from those harsh words, and make sure it matters to you alone how well your goals turn out.
Critiques to me are boosters. I always seek to know the value I can draw from their points.

Thanks for sharing @ejemai
