Those who are influenced by the opinions of others are rarely successful. It is said that giving opinions or advice for free is the most unprofitable business in this world.
    everyone’s Nature is different. No two people are ever the same. Even the habits of people in the house are not the same. Then there is no point in behaving as people say. Actually, everyone is behaving according to what is comfortable for them and should be and we need to listen to our heart instead of others, when a dilemma arises, we already have the solutions, we just need to find them.
