Your opinion of yourself determines success, not the f@cking opinions of others.

Be happy and do not give to f@k about what others think. It really doesn't matter what others think of you. They can have their opinions. Don't see yourself as the loser that others see you as. See yourself as THE MAN. You are the SH1T!!! What makes you the sh1t is not giving a sh1t about what others think of you.

That right there is the key to success and happiness in life. When you do what your heart says you should, and do not care about a single voice that is spoken against you. The more voices you have against your abilities, the better it looks when you shut them up.

Instead of paying attention to what puts you down, pay attention to what motivates you in the moment of when others would crumble. I had all my success in difficult times during ignoring the critics, taking things to the chin, moving on and fill myself with confidence from what drives me.

I have always been a boxing fan. In that sport you will find many fighters where doubters will put people Muhammad Ali inspires me. He achieved so many things that no one thought he could imagine. Where are the critics who criticised him for not going Vietnam? Where are his critics today for thinking Ali has no chance vs Sonny Liston. What about the critics who thought Forman will crush him.

Manny Pacquiao, a man who was homeless once, he is now one of the biggest icons not just today in boxing but of all time as well. He is by far the most iconic filipino today. If someone told you that this homeless kid from a 3rd world country will be something special, you would have called him crazy.

Floyd Mayweather, another great fighter. He used to be criticised for poor ticket sales, he silenced those critics by being the highest paid athlete ever. He beat a lot of good fighters and achieved way more than what his critics was saying. He silenced them all. Where are his critics now that he wouldn't fight Hatton, or he cannot sell?

Tyson Fury was considered a joke before he fought Klitschko, and almost no one thought he would beat the Ukrainian's more than a decade of undefeated streak, and he actually did it. Then he went on to cocaine and heavy depression. Many was thinking that he will not be able to beat Wilder. And yet he went on to beat everyone's expectation of him. Who now sees him as a joke in boxing? Who now wants to call him a pathetic fat out of shape crack addict?

Canelo Alvarez, a man who was a pro when he was a KID. He fought the best, from a young age. People said he wouldn't fight GGG and no matter what you thought of the fight, he exceeded his hater's expectation of how he would perform vs the Kazakh. Everyone in their first fight thought that GGG will end Canelo soon as he lands a good one. This kid who was also poor, is now one of the richest boxers ever, with mansions, exotic cars and today is the biggest name and he doesn't even speak english. Where are the critics who said he will never fight GGG? Where are the critics who said that Canelo will get knocked out by GGG if they fight? Where are the critics that said Canelo runs, after the second fight.

Their critics are either silenced or still talking senselessly and right now looking very very stupid. It does not even matter anymore. These guys are constantly criticised and yet they have a crazy level of confidence. Its almost like they are not aware of their critics.
