I believe they can take anything from me
But they can’t succeed in taking my inner peace
They can say all they wanna say about me
But I’m gonna carry on
I’m gonna keep on singing my song
~ Singing My Song, Christina Aguilera

In his early days of learning piano, Ray Charles was once told by his teacher, “You can’t play piano and God knows you can’t sing also. You’d better learn how to wave chairs so you can support yourself.”

And today?

Forget about the recording of more than 60 albums or winning 12 Grammy Awards, being considered as the “Father of the Soul/R&B music,” Ray Charles is ranked #10 by the Rolling Stone Magazine on their list of The Immortals: 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

Now, maybe you are thinking, if you have only BIG dreams, it’s sure you have to be criticized.

Hold on, criticism isn’t the matter whether you are a BIG dreamer or doing something BIG. You have to be criticized because you are a human being regardless what you think or what you do. Yeah, this is price we pay for being a HUMAN. And I believe, it’s worthy enough to be human because out of every 1,00,000,00 species of living creatures only “ONE” is human … only “ONE!”

And when God made us as human, He put criticism in the “terms & conditions” part. So how can we avoid that … how can?

Maybe you’re also thinking: “Come on, I didn’t do anything wrong to anyone in my life then why?” Look, expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian … come on dear!

So, shrug off what the whole world is buzzing about you. I believe if you ever come to know what they think about themselves, you’ll get more horrified. Remember, what we feel for anything isn’t important, what we do with those feelings is most important!
