Day 245 of wisdom
“I don’t listen to weakies.”
Bobby Fischer
Being raised by a single mother for the most part of his life Bobby Fisher was supposed to have a troubled childhood, and an obscure future, but he never allowed any of the unpleasant circumstances around him to weigh him down, or deprive him of his untold greatness. At age fifteen Fischer became both the youngest grandmaster (GM) up to that time and the youngest candidate for the World Championship. He started learning chess with his sister who later quit chess playing, but did not allow that to hinder him from pursuing what he felt was his purpose.
As sojourners on the path to greatness, we hear different sounds, and different noices that are targeted at either, weakening, or discouraging us from continuing the work we are meant to do, or pursuing our dreams. If we would actually get to our destination, we must not listen to the sound of discouragement, our eyes must be set on our goal, or else we would find ourselves wandering the path of mediocrity, and mischief.
When people can not do a thing they tell you 'no one has done it, and no one can do it', but until someone challenge the status quo, no one will ever do any thing. Records have been broken by people who dared to do what has never been done, not people who listened to those who know that something has never been done, and can not be done.
Criticism is a tool wise people employ in their pursuit of success, we must be careful what we listen to, and who we listen to. When constructively criticised, we must learn how to make use of such criticism as tools for growth, and amendments of our past errors, and dispel criticisms that are meant to dampen our morale. In the end, all that matters is what you were able to do with your life, and the gifts bestowed on you by your maker, not who you listened to, and whose advice was the best. Life is a personal journey, live your life by your visions, not by what you hear.
