Keep Your Head in the Clouds and Your Feet on the Ground ~ unknown

I was inspired to find a quote because I felt I was judged wrongly by someone who was not identified to me by the person who passed the message. Apparently this person is a listed friend on my Facebook account and made a comment about one wall post I made. He or she had the impression that I have changed a lot.

Now why am I reacting to this comment from a person whose identity remains anonymous to me? Simply because this person apparently does not know me that well to make a comment that I have changed. What he or she saw was a post I made on FB out of frustration on proofreading an article. However, this person is not with me when I wake up in the morning, when I go to work, when I deal with my employees, when I stay up late at night to work, when I work on weekends, when I play, when I go out with my friends, when I go on a vacation with my family, and practically when I do things which I prefer to keep private.

As you can see, I also prefer not to tell the world when I do something to help those who need help. These are apparently the things that this person has not seen but he or she has the guts to judge me that I have changed.

FYI: That is why there is something written there on the wall post “What’s on your mind?” – the purpose is for me to write what is on my mind. Now, if I am frustrated to proofread what I have been proofreading.. is it bad to express what is on my mind??? And is that how you would base your understanding of my total personality? Honestly, it makes me think.. when was the last time you saw me? When was the last time we talked? What do you know about me? Do you even know half of my life history? Or where were you during my times of struggle?

I guess I can say that the ones who can totally give an honest comment if I have changed are my parents. They have been there from the day I was born and they are the only ones who would know how much I have changed and if I have kept my feet on the ground.
