Heard a story about a guy. A guy who goes to college with plain looks & tucked in shirt every time. people laughing at him day in & day out to be the odd one out.
Someone went and asked- Dude, why don't you change your clothes for a while? They all laugh at you for that.
The guy remarked in a polite way- why should I change for them when they will no longer exist in my life after a while?
Heard a story about a guy, who in college understood that he should not change for others just because he is different. He was proud enough to handle being different.
