Simplified meaning
Sometimes, people are afraid to trust their own thoughts and ideas because they worry about what others might think or say. This quote is encouraging you to be brave and rely on your own knowledge and judgment. For instance, imagine you're in a class discussion, and you have a different opinion than the rest of the group. Instead of staying quiet, speak up and share your perspective. Your unique view might help others see things differently. Applying this advice means believing in yourself and your abilities, even if it feels challenging. It’s about making decisions based on what you truly think and feel, rather than just following what everyone else is doing.
