William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:

Everyone is born with certain features and qualities, but as we grow up, we often change how we appear or act to fit in or for other reasons. Imagine a child who is naturally curious and loves exploring. However, when they start going to school, they might pretend to be shy and quiet because they're afraid of being different or getting teased. This quote is saying that people often hide their true selves and put on a different face to please others or to protect themselves. It's like wearing a mask all the time, which can be tiring and confusing. In real life, this happens a lot on social media where people show only the perfect parts of their lives to seem more popular or happy than they really are. To apply this advice, it's important to try to be true to yourself and not change just to fit in. You’ll be happier and more genuine to the people around you when you embrace who you are.
