Throughout our lives, I'm sure we've all had that one person or a group of people, who tell us we can't do something. Something along the lines of "you don't have what it takes," "you're not good enough," "you're not the type," or they'll simply come out and tell you can't pull it off without a real explanation behind it.
Depending on the situation and the person, I have different reactions to doubters. If I get the feeling it's someone, who's trying to antagonize me for the sake of antagonizing me, I just do my best to ignore said individual, and stay the course without any real problems. If you're already motivated, determined, and focused, then you should have more than enough to push forward with no real problems, while blocking out any stupidity.
But in certain cases, when you really feel someone's going the extra mile to get under your skin, and they truly believe you'll fail, or in certain cases they're rooting for you to fail, it's kind of hard to ignore them and look the other way. The extra motivation push helps, and maybe you're thinking about the one moment of satisfaction, when you can tell the other person they were wrong about you.
So my question to you is, do you feel the need to prove others wrong, when you're trying to achieve your goals or chase your dreams?
