I didn't say you were confused or misunderstanding Steve's word. I didn't even imply that. When I said:
"I also questioned the part that says "My external reputation is out of my control because it exists purely in other people’s minds..." But then Reyv's explanation made sense to me. So, overall, to me, this article was very helpful and I can't wait to put his tips into practice..."
I was referring to my personal perception and experience with this particular article, I really can't see why you perceived this as having been directed at you... And I wasn't really trying to convince you of anything, don't get me wrong here. You're entitled to your own opinions, just like everybody else. We are all just trying to contribute by sharing our perspectives here. If Reyv's explanation wasn't comprehensive or convincing enough for you, that's fine. But he (she?) was simply sharing his perspective, trying to explain something that had been questioned. At least that's how I see it.
And, again, I think we should all try to keep focused on the purpose of the thread here. And discuss the article itself and the ideas behind the article. The sparks are unnecessary, this is supposed to be a place where we're all trying to grow, so let's keep that in mind and drop the personal attacks, as this is gonna take us nowhere...
