“I do what I do. You like it, great. You don’t, go listen to somebody else.”
— Ice Cube
Simplified Meaning:
This quote is about being true to yourself and not trying to please everyone. Imagine a chef who cooks a special dish. Some people will love the taste, while others might not like it. Instead of changing the recipe to make everyone happy, the chef sticks to cooking the dish in the way they know best. The same applies to any creator, artist, or even a person living their everyday life. You do what you believe in and what you enjoy. If someone likes it, that’s wonderful. If others don’t, then it’s better they find something they do enjoy instead of you changing who you are to suit them. This advice teaches us to be confident in our own decisions and not worry too much about trying to make everyone happy. It’s okay if not everyone agrees with or likes what you do, because trying to please everyone can lead to losing your unique self.
