You will often meet many mean people who will enjoy to make fun of you, deliberately put you down, and brutally crush your confidence. They will try to strip you off your dignity and pride, ruthlessly. Yet you must remember that one's dignity may be vandalized, assaulted, and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless and until it is surrendered by its owner. Never surrender your dignity and pride.
