Never prove people right. Never prove them wrong. Prove instead that you make your own path in life.

About This Quote

Sometimes we need to prove someone wrong. However, we should never prove them right. If we always prove people wrong and run away from situations where we may be wrong and prove the person right, we won’t know what to do in certain situations and can end up doing things that are not in our best interests. We often get trapped into believing that if someone says something bad about us, it must be true.

That is a mistake that needs to be avoided because people can say things without believing them to be true. In fact, the opposite is true. People say things because they want to make us feel bad about ourselves and make us feel guilty for even thinking about doing something else.

The key is to realize when you are being made to feel guilty and make a decision for yourself without depending on other people’s opinions or feelings.
