Simplified meaning
This quote encourages people to stay focused on their personal goals and values, no matter what others might say or think. Imagine a student who loves painting but is told by classmates that it's not a cool hobby. If the student listens to them and stops painting, they lose something that makes them happy. Instead, if they ignore the negative comments and keep painting, they stay true to themselves and what they enjoy. It's about not letting others' opinions shake your confidence or change what you want to achieve. By following this advice, you can live a more authentic and satisfying life by doing what truly matters to you, rather than trying to please everyone else.
