Here is how we can *NOT* give power to others

If you give power to others, your behaviour may be moulded. And you will not be what you wanted yourself to be.

• Don't think much about them. The more you think about them - the more you give power to them.
• DO NOT try to impress them. Most people do this and that clearly reflects on their body language and personality.
• While you are with them, be SPONTANEOUS and trust YOUR INSTINCTS. You don't have to care whether they will like *this* or not.
• DO NOT let their comments/views affect you in any way. You should be emotionally/mentally strong.
• DO NOT try to match with their likes or dislikes. If they hate it, and you love it or vice-versa, don't hesitate to express yourself!

Remember, the more power you will give to someone, the more they will take you for granted and the more they will disrespect you.
