From Neale Donald Walsch
On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know...
...that it is not necessary for you to report everyone's mistakes to them, much less to give them corrections.
It can be difficult, when you think you know a better way to door say something, to keep that to yourself. But try.
Unless someone's life or safety depends on it, do try.
You would not welcome someone else pointing out your own misstep, or less-than-totally-efficient approach to something. Why point it out to them? Do you see it as your duty in life to make sure that all goes the way you think it 'should'?
That would be an inaccurate assessment of your soul's grander purpose.

Great Quote
Came across this quote today, and think that is the quote I was looking for all these years.
"You are not responsible for what people think about you,
But you are responsible for what you give them to think about you"
The lesson is simple. You can’t control what people think but how you behave, how you talk and how you make decision are the major influence of how public perceived you.
(Disclaimer: Of course, when I write things, I am not preaching about certain of you guys or the public figures but rather on the collection of series of events that happened around me and how have I found myself been behaving/thinking/talking that major and/or minor improvisation can be done)
While I am a believer that each human is entitled to behave the one wants to behave, I also believe that each negative energy is like a drop of mud in a pail of water. The more you put it in, the more polluted the water will become. Installing positive energy is actually a hard practice, especially when you or rather I am allowing the people and events around me creating the negativity. Not that I can run out of the negatives, but I should be building a wall of constant filtering.
