“The world can't tell you who you are. You've just got to figure out who you are and be there, for better or worse.”
— Dave Chappelle

Simplified Meaning:
You shouldn't let other people decide your identity or worth because it's something you need to discover for yourself. Imagine you're an artist, and people around you keep telling you what to paint. Instead, you should explore what you truly enjoy painting, even if some people don't like it. This way, you're being true to yourself. In history, think about Vincent Van Gogh. Many didn't understand his art during his life, but he kept painting what he felt and saw. Now, his work is celebrated worldwide. So, if you stay true to who you are and what you value, your inner peace and fulfillment grow. Following your path might be tough sometimes, but it's the only way to live genuinely and fully.
