Stand Up

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. - Mark Twain



There are two ways to make yourself feel superior: Do something great; Put down others in an effort to make yourself appear elevated. Unfortunately the latter is far more common, which is to be expected, because it requires much less effort. If you stand up you will get shot at by those who remain seated (rarely by those who have stood up before).
