“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
— Mark Twain

Simplified Meaning:
When most people agree on something, it's worth taking a moment to think carefully about it. Just because everyone is doing or believing something, that doesn't make it right or the best choice. For example, imagine everyone in your school starts wearing a certain kind of shoes because it's the latest trend. If you stop and think, you might realize those shoes aren't comfortable or they're too expensive. By pausing and reflecting, you can make better decisions that are true to yourself rather than just following the crowd. This helps you be more independent and thoughtful in your choices.
