In a social community as our world today, people have their different opinions on the things they think about; and it is important to know that people think a lot of things about other people. The thoughts and ideas which people have about other people mostly come from very emotional and judgemental point of views, and these do not really matter towards the benefit of the person who is being talked about.
The many people who think and talk about other people have been seen to have little mindsets, this I get from the popular quote by the former first lady of the United States of America; Eleanor Roosevelt. When she said that 'Great minds speak about good ideas, average mind talk about events, while little minds talk about other people'. The fact about people who discuss other people is that they only discuss what they see and what they hear, but they do not know the true personality of the person they are talking about. There is always more to a person than what meets the eyes and what the ears hear.
People who talk about other people usually do not go close enough to understand the person they talk about; they are always observing them from a distance, so they only get blurry views from what they see. Giving any opinion about a subject which has been looked at from a distance usually comes out with wrong results; but a close and attentive interaction is the kind of observation that comes out with encouraging results and it precedes improvements. People who talk about other people do not have the courage to come close, and they neither have the patience to be attentive; so they are completely not your concern.
Thinking positively about the things you experience and about yourself is the best way to stay strong; keeping a positive mindset will help you to easily notice your strengths and weaknesses, you can then cut down the weakness by improving on your strength. You should concentrate on building your mind to provide good solutions to any challenge that comes your way, and be quick to clean away thoughts that hold doubt, fear, and many other negativity. This is where your complete concern is, and you should focus inwards more than you do outwards.
When you have developed a strong positive mindset, you will notice that it will attract the right people who will complement for your weakness. These people do not judge your actions, they rather try to advice you confidentially on matters that concern you. Their advices will come sincerely because they have the courage to stay close, and they have the patience to be attentive. They recognize that your improvement and success always contributes to their improvements and success also; they reveal more of your strengths.
In all of these conquest, your major concerns are the things you think about yourself; your true opinions about yourself is all that matters, and your mind is all you need to enable you be the best of you.
