"I remember I read this harsh review about my show, and one of my friends told me that this was the exact same stuff people said about Madonna. And it's like, she didn't care. Madonna just came out and was herself. I respect that a lot"

Britney Spears is reflecting on an extreme evaluation she got about her show. She was comforted by a good friend who reminded her that the exact same criticism was as soon as said about Madonna. Britney appreciates Madonna's strength and her capability to stay real to herself regardless of the criticism. This quote talks to the power of self-esteem and the importance of remaining real to oneself. It is a tip that no matter what criticism we may face, we ought to stay real to our values and beliefs. It is a reminder that we need to not let the viewpoints of others specify us. We ought to take pride in who we are and not be afraid to reveal ourselves.
