Let people say:

I am not an accomplished person. I have many short-coming. I can accept fault. I desire to develop my personality. So I can assume critics whether constructive or destructive. Because I am a human being, I can revise previous action and take necessary action.  But my gentle reminder is don’t take easy with me.
