Mind Your Own Business!

When I was on the road this morning, the header of an advertisement that reads "MYOB" flashed across my eyes very swiftly but it lingered in my mind for quite a while. MYOB stands for Mind Your Own Business.

MYOB seems to be usually used to tell those who are "busy bodies" off. Those are the people who have nothing better to do but to get involved with other people's affairs usually not out of concern but out of jealousy and curosity. They simply like to mind others' business instead of their own. Poking into other's nose is their hobby and habit. They tend to think they are better than others.

Usually, if you study such people, you would realise that they are probably in the same or worse state than those whom they criticise or comment about. It is just that they think they are right but in actual fact, they are just being self-righteous. They usually feel they are okay, but others are not. They see themselves more highly than they ought to.

The way to deal with such people is to just ignore them if you can, or else just tell them, "Mind Your Own Business!". Period.
