"You can't control how you are perceived, and you are a fool if you waste any energy trying to do so. Vanity will get you nowhere"
- Dave Blood
About this Quote
This quote by Dave Blood is a suggestion that we can not manage how others perceive us. It is a waste of energy to try and control how we are seen by others, as it is eventually out of our control. The quote likewise cautions versus vanity, as it will not result in any favorable outcomes. Instead, it is better to focus on our own actions and how we can improve ourselves. We need to aim to be the very best variation of ourselves, and not stress over how others see us. It is necessary to remember that our worth is not figured out by how others view us, however by our own actions and character. We should not let vanity or the viewpoints of others define us.
