It is better to retain one's own unique style & spirit....

• What others think and say is least important, if you are determined to do your duties well...
• There are people who are born to criticize only...
• Critics are not of higher  caliber than you...
• Critics have a strong habit of finding faults with talented people....
• But, it is wise to tolerate critics to some extent, as they are the products of the society....
• You can not dance at the tune of everybody else...
• Be your own boss...
• Be independent...
• Be self-reliant...
• Filter out what others think....
• Absorb the gist of what others say....
• Be a doer...
• Take action on the ground...
• Be outspoken at times...
• Be practical, most of the times...
• Change yourself for the better....
• Speak out your mind, whenever required...
• Do your duties well...
• Enjoy life, without doing any harm to others....
