“That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time”
— John Stuart Mill

Simplified Meaning:
In today’s world, most people are afraid to be different or stand out from the crowd. This is a big problem because when everyone tries to be the same, we miss out on new ideas and unique perspectives. Think about someone like Albert Einstein. If he had been too scared to share his unusual thoughts about science because they were different from what others believed, we might not have the important discoveries we have today. Being eccentric or unique can lead to great things and new ways of thinking. So, it's important to be brave and true to yourself, even if it means being different from others. This way, the world can benefit from the special ideas and talents that only you can offer.
