"Find your strengths,

There are plenty of people to point out your flaws."

"If you must take a step,

Take it forward,

There are plenty of people to pull you back."

"If you dream,

Dream big,

There are plenty of people to belittle you."

"Ignite the spark of passion within you,

There are plenty of people who will burn with envy."

"If you want to create something,

Create memories,

There are plenty of people to stir up conflicts."

"If you want to love,

Love yourself,

There are plenty of people to become enemies."

"If you must live,

Live like a child,

There are plenty of people to act wise."

"If you want to trust,

Trust yourself,

There are plenty of people to cast doubt."

"Just nurture yourself,

There are plenty of people to show you the mirror."

"Create your own unique identity,

There are plenty of people to follow the crowd."

"Do something to show the world,

Just do something,

There are plenty of people to applaud."
