The results of my work don't have much to do with me. I can only be in charge of producing the work itself. That's a hard enough job. I refuse to take on additional jobs, such as trying to police what anybody thinks about my work once it leaves my desk.

Who cares what THEY think, what do YOU think? You can't control others' perception of you, so just be yourself and let it be.

Your life is enough, don’t be concerned with others. And I tell you that if you can live unconcerned your life will flower, and then others can share in it. You would like to share, and you can give much to others, but first you must stop thinking about others and what they are thinking about you.

The opinions of others should not deter you from being yourself..

When you’re anonymous, other opinions shrink next to the sounds in your own head.

My self-esteem is not tied to the approval of others.
