I am always the man and I repeat it as a mantra. When someone tries to get me down I just harden up and remember that I'm probably smarter and tougher than them.  Because I'm a M*****N BAWSSS
That sounds like a great way to keep yourself motivated! 
Yessir/maam more people need to think like this honestly.  I'm a millenial and am disgusted by this underlying promotion of self-loathing...it's one thing to be humble but damn son, get that chip off your shoulder by doing something about it!!! hahaha
Everyone needs some way to keep them going!
