"Never complain, never explain. Resist the temptation to defend yourself or make excuses." This quote by Brian Tracy relates to me a lot because often times I find myself defending my thoughts and ideas to people who do not care to understand or will even try, this is something that I am trying to push myself from doing. Explaining yourself is not always a bad thing, but it begins to make you feel like you shouldn't stand up for your ideas as an individual, and that is not what I want to happen to me. It is one of my goals to become more self confident in my ideas and to share them with confidence and to exert my voice, even when others do not understand why I feel the way I do.
