Now, now remember who you are and don't  sink
to their level, empty vessels make the most noise
You know these are plain ordinary people
Inherent inferiority complex needs a front
They need to vent, to feel significant to feel some power
Don't let them feel bad, don't show them that you know anything
just remain accommodating, gracious and respectful

They already know who you are
that's why they do all they do
you don't need to prove anything
Don't go showing you're are bright, adequate and capable
Don't let them feel outclassed and outflanked or useless
They are real people and they have tender feelings
Fragile egos always feel threatened and some will overcompensate

Understand where their resentment or false bravado stems from
Understand their need for recognition and a taste of power and control, mediocrity will put on a show always
even if its at your expense, just lower your expectations
and feel compassion for they have so much missing in them
They've never really had self esteem, confidence and self assurance
They, by their humble positions feel angry and some envious
So please let them feel they matter and are a worthwhile force too.

Yes, yes I know it's at your expense
But you know who and what you are
THEY DON'T HAVE NOTABILITY or a real solid identity
Please understand and be wise. You know those with real strength
have no need to prove it.
The Best General does not need to go to war
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
Remember, any fool can know, the POINT is to understand
They are shallow and don't understand, so please remember
Be RESPONSIBLE and above all....
remember your humanity even if they don't remember theirs.
