If you study any subject for an hour a day, every day, eventually you will become THE world expert on that subject. No-one will know more about it than you. Learn to have this level of confidence in your self. There is a fashion these days to denigrate experts and to dismiss their knowledge. This is the small mind syndrome in action. You must never accept this treatment of your superior knowledge from those who are your inferiors. State loudly and clearly that you are the expert and demand to know what credentials your attackers have that makes them think that they have the right to challenge you. Then set about demolishing their positions entirely.
As an expert, read constantly. Build on your knowledge every day. Use your knowledge to help, instruct, enlighten and inform.

256. Crying
Crying is the natural expression of grief. When you are very sad it is perfectly right to cry.
When you are out and about in the world, however, crying can be seen as a weakness. This is then used by others as an excuse to take advantage of you.
There are people in the world who themselves have very low self-esteem and if they see you crying, will seize on it to make fun of you and make you feel even worse. They do this to make themselves feel better (at your expense). It should not make them feel better. It should make them feel ashamed because it is mean, spiteful and small-minded. It is extremely petty. They feel better because they are mean, bitter and twisted people.
People like this are not worth bothering about for they are cowards and bullies. They are best left to their own devices.
Never let your true feelings be known to all and sundry. Do not give your heart to the dogs in the street to play with nor to the pigs to trample.
Observe what happens when other boys cry. See who goes to comfort them and who laughs and makes fun of them. That will tell you who to keep as friends and who to leave behind. Beware of the ones who make fun of the weak as they seek to control others (and you if you're not careful.) In short, never let yourself be seen crying in public.
