9 Ways To Avoid People Who Always Put You Down
Ian Dooley

"You really can't do this" "You'll make everyone else down doing this" "Don't think that you only going through these hassles" ---- Are these words familiar to you? If so, then someone is trying to make your confidence down. Do not let them in your life to make your life a mess. Followings are the ways you can follow to avoid these people.

1. Do not care

If this kind of people come to you, just ignore them. Make them know that you're not listening to them and they don't have an impact on your life.

2. Be confident

So they are here to lower your confidence? Grow more confidence. You're the one who can do your loved job. If you can't accomplish your target, let yourself know you tried and this was an experience tying that. You'll surely make it next time.

3. Be you

Live as what you are. Do not live a life of others. Try to get inspiration from others, but do not copy them. Living a life of yours is needed for your soul.

4. Smile back

And if you need to face these people, give a smile. Smiling would make them feel that you are taking them lightly. They would then leave the place to make themselves feel better.

5. Work for success

People would talk about your failure to make you feel that you're good for nothing. You can make them stop telling these by writing your own success story. So, work for your success secretly. Your success will talk for you.

6. Give a big hand

Give appraisal for their effort to think about your failure. Tell them you get inspiration from their words. They would probably understand what you mean and this would let them stop talking these words.

7. Silence is an answer

Silence is the best answer to give to these people. Being silent would create a calm situation that would reduce the effect of their words. Silently you would plan for the way to success.

8. Do not let them get you

Another way to avoid them is to become busy with your work. Do not give them the chance to come to you to talk about your ability and lifestyle. Do not let them get your free time.

9. Go ahead

After these, forget their words. Forget your failure. Let them go. Move forward to get the taste of success. Never stop your journey listening to these people. Remember you are the hero of your life.

You are ready to embrace your success. Do not let other people get between you and your success. Listen to people who can suggest you good ways. Do not let the words of people to make you down. Success will be yours.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
