What you think you are
only matters to you
than
what others think about you
who you are -  a child

what others think you are
only matters to you
than
what you think about yourself
who you are - a schoolboy

what others think you are
matters to you more than
what you think about yourself
who you are - a teenager

what you think you are
matters to you more than
what others think about you
who you are - a married man

what you think you are
and
what others think about you
who you are
equally matters to you - a complete man.
