If someone has hurt or offended you (whoever that person may be), never perform anything or strive for anything in your life with the mind of proving something to that someone/ to those people.

Well, the rabble could. The rabble would.
He would lead the rabble in managing.
The thing would be won.”
― Lincoln in the Bardo
