About This Quote
As long as you are happy with yourself, there is no need to read other peoples' point of view on you. You should be able to take care of your self-esteem. You should be able to do things that bring you success and happiness. The people who love you should also love you for who you are and not just for what you can do. If the people around you try to change your self-esteem, it will only make things worse.
