Who You Are
They say that the choices you make in life define who you are. If you kill, you're a murderer. If you die for a cause, you're a martyr. These are rather crude examples, but they are generally accepted. My question is, what if you loathe the things you've done? Does this saying cease to affect you, or does that happen only once you decide to take action against what you have done to change, to prove that you are not proud of what you have done in the past, and that those actions should not decide peoples' opinion of you. I'd like to believe that, but in my opinion, that's just wishful thinking. People believe what they see, and some only see what they want to see. Sometimes the struggle to change, to be better may seem futile, peoples' past opinions of you withstanding. Do you continue down the path toward self-improvement once you hit that fork in the road, or do you fall into old habits? The point of the struggle is not to be at peace with what others think of you, it's about being at peace with yourself, it's about being proud of who you are.

i honesty don't understand what your trying to say??? it's all some what confusing!
You shouldn't care what others label you. You are who you are. People just label others because they want to or they don't have nothing else to do. Everyone is a critic. All you have to do is just ignore it and try to move on with your life. Just try to be yourself and move on with yourself.

I THINK THAT WHEN PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU THATS THE WAY THEY ARE GOING TO JUDGED YOU AND THEY ARE GOING TO THINK ABOUT YOU, IT IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO SHOW RESPECT AND DRESS NICELY SO PEOPLE CAN THINK POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT YOU

"Who you are;Defines what you do.What you do;Defines who you are." Well, I think we are actually judged on what we do and I understand that a lot of people done things in the past that made you give other people a whole different impression on you, that's why you should always choose the right.
I think that the things you do sometimes defines who you become in the future. If you are a good person then good things will come to you. Some people that have made many different mistakes regret what they have done in the past and wish to change their future by doing good things for others. There are many people that really don’t think like that they have yo change their life for the best but that is their mistake in life that they wish to make.
People along the way start to lose their selfs. With all the stress the are dealing with. And i do agree, it happens to people.

i agree with this quote. The things you do is what you are. YOu have to do good things so that people can see you as a good person. If you commit too many errors people will see you as a bad person.

this is a good quote, and its true. You should not care about what people care about you care about yourself. Make peace with yourself, makes peaces with others.

I PERSONALLY THING U SHOULDN'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE LABEL YOU. PEOPLE TEND TO LABEL SOMEONE FOR THE WAY THEY LOOK AND SOMETIMES THEY ARE TOTALLY WRONG ABOUT THAT CERTAIN PERSON
