" Don't measure your progress with the opinions of your dedicated cynics."
- Apostle Constance C. Friday advises.

Some Folks will never applaud you even if you win the world cup five times back to back.
Don't waste your time paying attention to anything they have to say, either about you or about what you do.
Measure your progress by your own standards

If you look at yourself today and you're better than whom you were yesterday, to hell with what they have to say.

Honestly.
