"Vous n'avez pas la responsabilité de satisfaire ce que les autres pensent que vous devez accomplir. Je n'ai pas la responsabilité d'être comme ils s'attendent à ce que je sois. C'est leur erreur, pas mon échec."

Simplified Meaning:

This quote is about not letting other people's expectations control your life. Imagine you're a student, and everyone thinks you should become a doctor because they see it as a prestigious job. But you have a passion for writing and want to be an author. Even though people around you might say you're making the wrong choice, it's your life to live, not theirs. If you try to do what they want instead of following your own dreams, you might end up unhappy. Their high expectations aren't your problem; it’s their error in thinking that they can decide what's best for you. So, you should focus on what makes you personally fulfilled and not worry about disappointing others. This idea encourages you to be true to yourself and not bend to what others think you should do.
