Interesting concept, pretty much in lines with what I think about certain things!
I could learn about it only recently while conversing with a colleague about my poem http://my-first-online-diary.blogspot.in/2013/11/if-at-all.html. This is when he told me about these topics

So, for all those people who think too much about what others think of their actions, these snippets from Steven Covey’s book might help:
