sticks and stones may break bones
and words
they can break even the strongest of souls
my advice? be a duck.
show the world your delicate plumage
and
as water beads off the ducks back
so shall the opinions of those
who can only ever quack.
Some of the best advice I've ever gotten was to develop the "feathers of a duck". Let the criticisms and opinions of those who don't matter roll off your back.
