Proving people wrong

[abcdqdxD]

So just then, a friend's bf said this: "you won't get into bcom at melb, from the person doing bcom at melb". On top of that, he doesn't even know me, which made me quite angry.

So how do you guys deal with the nay-sayers? Share your past experiences!

How do I deal with naysayers? I be more successful than them and then smile to myself .

1-"success" is not defined by ATAR score
2-what makes you think you can't beat him?
3-You don't need to 'deal' with him. You said he didn't know you, therefore it wasn't personal, therfore just ignore him.

Tell them to Fuck Off,

plus what brenden said.

More importantly what brenden said

Yeah this. That could've been misleading. Success is really just a state of mind, if you achieve what you want to achieve you're successful. You could make your goal shutting the naysayers up. Then, when you get into your course, you're doubly successful lols~

Good suggestion.

There is more to Commerce than getting into a particular course. It sounds like he'd be the type to squander his own chances of success in Business in the future. Want to prove him wrong? Be an all-rounder, not just the jerk who seems to be in the right degree.

You can play this song when you're right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCQ7VLoY7bQ  haha

But in all seriousness,

1) As you said he doesn't even know you, clearly he is quick to form judgements.

2) You haven't even started your VCE, nor have the offers come out for 2014. What he said was foolish.

You did achieve a 44 in accounting, so that should count for something. I remember asking my methods teacher what kind of raw study score I could get, since I was aiming for 40, they said maybe 34 or 35. In the end I managed a 39, I know that's 1 below 40, but I did get a better mark than 34. Have confidence in yourself and you'll achieve your goals.

The only person who is qualified to tell what you are or are not capable of is yourself.
