It's funny how people can be right but in totally the wrong way. It's kind of like the teacher who was so dreadful that you'll always remember him as a shining example of what not to do. On July 27th, you'll see that a disparaging critic, unforgiving parent, or harsh boss serves a higher purpose in life, and that's to wake you up to the wonderful gifts you possess. You'll never get this person's support and approval, and that's the point. Trying to please him diminishes you, while rejecting his negativity forces you to assert yourself and do what you know you're capable of doing.
