Summary

This quote suggests that the praise we receive from others might indicate that we are still following someone else's path rather than our own. It reminds us to stay true to our authentic selves and not be swayed by external validation.

True fulfillment comes from leading our own journey, rather than living by someone else's expectations.

Rumour is a pipeBlown by surmises, jealousies, conjecturesAnd of so easy and so plain a stopThat the blunt monster with uncounted heads,The still-discordant wavering multitude,Can play upon it.
