“To find yourself, think for yourself”

Simplified Meaning:

To truly understand who you are, you need to make your own decisions and have your own thoughts. Imagine when you were a child, your parents, teachers, and friends often told you what to do, think, or believe. It's like being given a map to follow. But as you grow older, it's important to create your own map based on your experiences, beliefs, and feelings. For example, consider a person who loves drawing but their friends all love sports. If they only do sports to fit in, they miss out on their passion for art. By choosing to pursue their love for drawing, they discover what makes them happy and what they're good at. In daily life, this means questioning things, trying new activities, and reflecting on what truly matters to you rather than just following the crowd. This way, you build a life based on your true self, not just on what others expect or want from you.
