		<description>Reading this I can totally relate you what you said. I haven&#039;t accomplished a whole lot in life just yet but I know I will. Peer pressure can be pretty powerful. But I think practicing being your self and pushing the &quot;crowd&quot; attitude away is where you gain respect for yourself and feel more comfortable being who you are. 

I think if we really want to succeed in life we need to understand that those people who pull us down are small. They&#039;re small because their psychologically sick! They&#039;ll never accomplish as much as they actually can until they give up that attitude also. I&#039;ve made it a rule not to listen to small minded people or mediocre people who try to push small minded ideas.

Something I learned in the past few months is that the stupidest ideas are the future. Every single invention had harsh criticism. When Ford started his business critics said the auto industry was a fad and would fade away. When the Internet was started critics said that it would eventually die off. When MySpace was started people just didn&#039;t get it. Small people are awesome at criticizing things they don&#039;t understand. And as a result they&#039;ll always be small until they take notice of their own fault.

I really enjoyed this post. It makes a lot of sense. I&#039;m going to keep on reading this blog. Keep up the great work!

		<description>I would say most people react (or act) the way they do (reluctant or not) because 50% of the time is due to one&#039;s upbringing, 20% is due to self-discovery while 10% is situational (or where you are at the time of your existence).

Sometimes people are reluctant because they are fearful.  Do you know of someone who is phobic of driving due to childhood nightmares?  You are reading her comment here now!  lol

Is it ok for a man to cry?  Healthwise, emotionally-wise, mentally-wise, the answer would have to be a YES (I think!)  Socially a man who cries may or may not be accepted (depending on the situation again).  Most people feel it&#039;s ok for a man to cry at funerals but not to cry incessantly.  I see no wrong in a man crying - it really means he&#039;s comfortable to let his feelings out without worries that you&#039;d criticise him.

What do the others think?
