If they cannot be bothered to get to know the real person who I am they are not worth it. Quite often in situations such as being patient you are judged solely on your notes. If a medical person doesn't like you they can write less than favourable information. If a person is judged on their notes alone, they are a mish mash of other peoples opinions on them.<br />Take a person for how you find them, dont judge them on past mistakes or misfortunes, they are who they are today.<br />xoxoxoxoxoMEDICALBOOBOOShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238357586852121228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927199606776255610.post-72390801701157848022009-08-25T17:01:37.703-07:002009-08-25T17:01:37.703-07:00So True, so true!

Feeling comfortable in your own skin is far more important than impressing people. I think most people who struggle with this are deep down inside insecure people, who constantly seek the validation of others. It sort of makes me sad, truely we all need others, but we don't have to be so impressive to get their approval. Nobody's perfect, but I think it is important to accept yourself and love yourself for who you are. Its a comfort through the hard times. Ultimately people respect the honosty and integrity of a person who is just themselves, no show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927199606776255610.post-48408670521188851842009-08-25T15:36:53.325-07:002009-08-25T15:36:53.325-07:00I am what I am and that's all I am!
I think th...I am what I am and that's all I am!<br />I think that what you are saying is very true and important. As a parent, I have to accept that my kids are individuals and not cookie cutter perfect robots. I think that it is hard for some parents to let their children be themselves while still offering guidance and advice. As a woman, I know that pretending to be something that you aren't is not ever going to work. You'll just end up unhappy. Change a man? No, it's best to let them die happy clutching their tv remote control, haha...It took me a long time to accept my imperfect self, but I am happier now that I have.ADMINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16514196581554294499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927199606776255610.post-4271853201271952942009-08-25T07:07:54.873-07:002009-08-25T07:07:54.873-07:00Very good post Odette.
