There is this story of a man that goes like this:

A man once falls into a deep pit. He tries to climb up, without much success. People crowding around, instead of helping him out, start their negative talks. They gesticulate and tell him how he is now done for, stuck for life, he cannot get out and so on.

To their amazement, the man tries even harder and somehow manages to come out! An onlooker tries to communicate with him, only to find out that he is deaf! The deaf man had actually mistook all the criticism as encouragement and used it to his strength!—

People who can’t do it themselves will dissuade,

people envious of your progress will criticise –

Never get lost in the voices of the world!

Our North Star is all that matters!
