A character of a person is moulded by the Praise & Criticisms, Solace & Anguish, Reputation & Shame, Gain & Loss measured in relation to the external inputs and the happening taking place quietly in the mind of the individual. Measuring ones own self influenced by external inputs is the most dangerous emotion to addict to. Once addicted, it remains a Hook inside of that person and there is no other cure than he himself pull it out. That stage is not easy. So be aware of it.
