Stop putting other people down if you're no good yourself

I think success is purely personal. I think it's not the same for everybody. I think it comes from believing first, and then taking the steps to reach it. You have to be a bit delusional to be successful is what my belief is. Many people don't understand that. In their little world, nothing ever happens, no one can ever become anyone, especially not you. They call it being naive, and they think it's laughable to exude the level of ambition that you would naturally have if you wanted to be something greater.

They're somewhat right because they are the ones who never tried anything and never had anything happen to them. I had a grown man literally point and laugh at me for my ambitions. He didn't know my past, he didn't know what I do, he just had the moment and I'm guessing his own worldview to judge me. I guess I'm probably just pissed that people make judgements based on nothing and throw them out into the world to put others down. You would be surprised at how much of everyday life are assumptions and projections from other people onto you.

I don't even know if there is a way to justify that behavior, and I'm not looking for one, because it's just destructive, it shouldn't happen, so stop.
