Dr. Phil's Comment Speaks Loudly of Clay's Wisdom

According to a thread on the Clayboard, Dr. Phil had a show today for girls concerning reputation having to do with a teenage girl who had been lied and gossipped about.

According to "Cathy with a K", the following is part of what Dr. Phil said during the show:

They talk about me all the time. I'm in the tabloids everyday! I mean I'm having a 3-headed alien baby with somebody or something. Seriously! I don't ever want anybody to mistake my silence for agreement with that, but you know what I think? I think that what I do and who I am in the pattern of my life speaks a lot louder than standing up and responding to every gossip story that's out there. You can't do that. You can't respond to that stuff. You are not going to be able to control what people say about you. You can't control that stuff.

This is exactly what Clay chose to do concerning the lies and rumors that were spread about him this past year. Many of us at times wondered why he didn't say something to defend himself. But I think what Dr. Phil says here can help us see even more clearly that Clay did the wise thing in remaining silent. The class-act life that Clay leads does speak a lot louder than any words he could have said.

Thank you, Dr. Phil, for your wonderful words of wisdom.
