00:00You are in a party and
00:04people, the janta starts laughing at you.
00:06You don't even bother to see exactly who is laughing.
00:09That chorus, that collective laughter
00:12is enough to quell your spirit.
00:14Any Tom, Dick and Harry comes
00:17and looks into your eyes and says,
00:18Oh, you are nobody and you start feeling down and inferior.
00:22Makes no sense. Does it?
00:24Equally, 10 people
00:26start complimenting you,
00:28praising you
00:29and you again lose all discretion.
00:31You forget to check who these 10 people are.
00:33Opinions do matter,
00:36but not everybody's opinion matters.
00:40Learn to listen and learn to not to listen.
00:43If you will live with fools,
00:44you'll have to listen to fools.
00:46You can't have just one part.
00:48Choose your company wisely.
00:51Why do you have to be with a crowd?
00:54Be with one person or five persons.
00:56Be selective.
