About This Quote
The only people who get praised are the ones who have earned it. It doesn’t matter if you are a genius or a person who has lived their life right for the most part, if you don’t have the skills to back it up, then people won’t be giving you praise. People will only praise what they have seen work in the past. The only reason anyone ever talks bad about others is because they want to make them feel like they should be doing better.
Everyone wants to feel like they are better than someone. This quote reminds me of how much negativity there still is in the world; once you start talking negative things about someone, then they can never get better because everyone else will be talking about how stupid they are and all the mistakes they made in life.
