BE FREE OF OPINIONS
If you depend upon the opinions of others to determine how good you are, then you become like a leaf in the wind, fluttering in whichever direction the fads of the time blow you.
**in a nuteshell, can you please explain the above statement in your own understandering.

I think you mean that people who form their opinion from others opinion's don't know who they are.
They are not grounded and have no belief in theirself.

It started with—we are not perfect, I guess a period of time we require the guidance of others to keep us on the right track. During the schooling years, we required the opinions of others, to confirm the value that we were trying so hard to achieve in the years ahead. Not to mention, the home environment we were obedience to the rule of orderliness, as should be the case of any children in the growing up stages where opinions from parents were responsible in our goodness.
The greatest of misgivings are from the working environment; our performance is also dependence on the opinions from others, which can rupture into what has been justified or not, in the decision-making. Anyway, on similar ground you will be exercising the right of opinion when given the control over others. It is fair to have opinions from others that make sense only and nothing else.

As a child, I was told how stupid and inept I was. Somewhere along the line, I chose to not believe all I had been told. Guess what. When starting college, I learned I have a genius IQ. The negative part of this is that I still do stupid things at times. That is the humanity in me.

In a nutshell: People who depend on the opinions of others, will result in the individual's own opinion to be like the leaves on a tree. His/or her own opinion would mean nothing.
It's better to have a rooted opinion, than to have your opinions blown off, like the leaves on a tree.

If you allow the opinions of others to influence your life, you are not writing your own destiny. You should not care what other people think about you; the only opinion that matters is your own. Focus on being happy with yourself instead of focusing negatively on the opinions of others.

One is nothing without his/her identity. To depend solely upon the opinion of others is to exsist as a blob of Play-Dough in a child's hand.

He under no circumstances could have been in penitentiary at first. I artwork in a nursing domicile, and often see human beings slowly and painfully die. people who Dr. Kevorkian helped had no probability for restoration, yet in basic terms wanted to be spared numerous discomfort and suffering. you assert compassion may be warranted. I agree, as compassion is what Dr. Kevorkian stood for.

"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."
"Do that, and no other shall say nay."
In other words, self-confidence counts, as long as your are not lying to yourself. The opinions of others probably matter naught.
On this, and other matters...DWTWSBTWOTL.

Don't let ppl tell you who you are. They don't know and believing they do will leave you lost.
