A tough lesson I've learned is most people simply don't care. They don't wish you bad but they don't wish you well that much either - they simply don't care.

This isn't a good or bad thing; it's just most people, the vast majority of the time, don't particularly care about what you're up to.
Long term friends do, of course, at least a little, but in perhaps limited doses.
This is both saddening and inspiring (liberating), depending on how you look at it.
- Dylanlacey 16y agoUnfortunately many people DO care. They care to push you back down. No-one likes the deep guilt of watching someone make something better of themselves, and some people reconcile that by trying to make you fail.
- peacemaker 16y agoI learned this lesson after my recent business failure. I spent months working extremely hard to get the doors open only to find that no-one cared I was there. I didn't neglect marketing but I didn't push hard enough either. I think I got caught up in the fact that because I cared, everyone else would too. It's a very sobering feeling when you're standing in an empty shop on opening day wondering, "where is everyone?" Lots of lessons learned there!
