Life led by the thoughts of another...will never be your own/// exactly right; thoughtful; we need to control our minds; if we give other the mind then we easily controlled by them, we'll be hypnotized easily as like the TV remote controller ......the mind of TV exists in Remote Controller and TV is directed my R.M......so if we learn to control our minds then it'll be easy to know own-self and those who know own-self is wise.

The truth often hurts but one must move on. I had written word very similar to yours but yours are far more succinct, thank you for sharing! :)

Amen my friend. To Thine Own Self Be True. You cannot be what others think you should be. You can try but only for a time. The real you comes out sooner or later. You will only be truly happy if you accept yourself and be who and what you are. Great job. God Bless and a big 7 from me. JB

That's probably two pages or more, as a document. And it's excellent, but it seems more worthy of being a story. Persistence pays off, so keep it up!
