“Life is not a popularity contest. Take the hill, but first answer the question: What is my hill?”
— Matthew McConaughey

Simplified Meaning:
In life, what matters most is not being liked by everyone. Instead, it's important to figure out what goals and challenges are truly important to you. Think about what you really care about or want to achieve. Once you know this, focus on going after it, even if it’s tough or not everyone agrees with you. For example, imagine you love painting but your friends think it's boring. Don’t worry about their opinion. If painting makes you happy and is meaningful to you, then that's your "hill" to climb. Put your energy into developing your art skills and pursue what brings you fulfillment. In doing so, you're living a more genuine and satisfying life.
