The Opinion Of Others

Politicians are well aware that there will be a sector of the population that dislikes them. Regardless of how popular one is, roughly half the people will think that person is doing a bad job and want them out of office. Even in Presidential politics, this holds true. Every four years, the winner has more than 40 million people vote against him.

When looking at success, the opinions of others matters little. This is the mindset that most accomplished people have. Sadly, those who fail to attain what they are after tend to allow what others think influence them. They cede all control of their future over to others.

I realize there are many who dispute my belief that sex is the most powerful motivator and should be used to take each life to the greatest of level. These people feel that I am shallow, perverted, and senseless. They prefer to promote socially accepted ideas for motivation and success. Yet, these concepts seem to prove themselves unworthy since most people fail to improve their situation. Nevertheless, the accusations come.

The point is that I could care less what others think. It is very easy to be a critic. In this era, anyone with a blog and a keyboard can express their opinion. However, there are a lot more critics than are people who actually achieve. People prefer to rip another down instead of building themselves up. It seems like that is part of the human condition.

A prime example is how men are with women who are deemed "less than attractive" by societies standards. You will see someone pass on a girl because his friends would not approve. Well, who cares what they think. If she is someone you want, go for it. Be damned with the thoughts they have.

Do not let the opinions of others influence your decisions. In my next post, I will create a paradox by showing how you can use the opinions of others to motivate you. This will really hit home when I mention about how the opposite sex is a valuable tool in this concept.
