"Rester fidèle à soi-même est plus important que de répondre aux attentes des autres."
— Victor Wembanyama
Simplified Meaning:
It's better to be who you really are instead of trying to do what others want you to do. Imagine if your friends like playing football, but you love painting. If you always play football just to make them happy, you might feel unhappy because you are not doing what you love. Over time, doing what others expect can make you feel tired and even lost. In history, there are many famous people who succeeded because they stayed true to themselves. For example, Albert Einstein was great at science but not very good at school. He didn't let the expectations of academics stop him. He followed his passion for science, and now he's known as one of the greatest scientists ever. In everyday life, this means you should follow your own interests and beliefs. If you like a certain hobby or dream of a particular job, work towards that, even if others want you to choose something else. Staying true to yourself helps you feel happier and more fulfilled.
