What other people think of me is their problem - not mine.
I will not be concerned at other men's not knowing me; I will be concerned at my own want of ability.
I have never considered myself a prodigy. Others have used that term, but I never bought in to it.
You may not be able to convince everyone around you that you're doing the right thing, but you don't have to subject yourself to endless second-guessing from others, either.
It's none of your business what people say about you.
What do others think they see?
