For me it works a bit differently, I mean for instance I use to be always saying about my goal to go studying in japan (like almost literally in all my posts in here XD).

I don't use to post about it on facebook, but I do love the way people use to doubt that'll be able to accomplish and that this is "just a far away dream".

It was exactly the same when I starting telling people I was going to travel to japan last year see through peoples eyes they saying "Oh camon you will not be able to do it" are one of the beast fuel form me to do it, and show that they are not only wrong with the way they judged my capacity, but some realizes they are even judging wrong their own capacity.

This is just amazing for me =D
