A few days ago, a guy wrote a rude comment, talking-down my decision of leaving a salary worth a Crore. And said other mean things.
I looked at his profile and found him to be hashtag#unemployed, bringing down other hashtag#founders' and their work too.
So, how did I react? Fought back on his views? No!
I simply didn't respond, prioritized my mental well-being over getting into a pig fight, and moved on.
I started my writing journey in 2015.
I don't know if this offends others, but if you want to share your thought-leadership or talk about your work on LinkedIn, I want to use this example to strongly advise you to prioritize your mental wellbeing than arguing with stranger over the internet.
We all collectively live in social media culture and toxicity is a reality.
In life, time is literally money.
Grow your career, protect your sanity, and most importantly pick battles worth fighting for in life ✊!
