Arguing with People Online

         You have to be firm with your decisions. Because of that, when you say something online through comments, you've got to stick to what you started. You have to understand that there's no pleasing everybody and you'll likely get ideas rejected since you've no control over what folks think. Despite this, you ought to continue to speak your mind. You've full control over yourself.

        Of course, you must be considerate. But disagreements are bound to happen and you might be compelled to be confrontational. Be brave enough to persevere. Let your ideas remain as they are. Don't bend to anyone's will because in doing so you establish your identity. You have to be strong. People who've succeeded in different industries didn't reach their position by merely tagging along. They're the ones who should inspire you to grow and become stronger. Do what they do and stand by your thoughts and principles.

        Haters are going to hate you, no matter what you do. They're never going to understand that each person has his free will. Although they may have it in them to mind their own business, when they tell you to do something, it's likely that they only want to connect and get attention. Give them attention if they want to but don't feel compelled to react. Instead, respond only if you feel like responding. You're the captain of your ship. You've got what it takes to win every single time.

        Don't imagine that you're invulnerable, though. You have your weaknesses. If you're affected by negative comments then fine. Take it in for a while but don't be overwhelmed. It's completely natural to feel bad about disagreements. Still, work on making yourself powerful enough to withstand petty words and even those that hurt. What does not destroy you will make you a whole lot stronger.
