00:00You are in a party and people, the janta starts laughing at you.
00:05You don't even bother to see exactly who is laughing.
00:08That chorus, that collective laughter is enough to quell your spirit.
00:13Any Tom, Dick and Harry comes and looks into your eyes and says,
00:16Oh, you are nobody.
00:18And you start feeling down and inferior.
00:20Makes no sense. Does it?
00:21Equally, ten people start complimenting you, praising you.
00:25And you again lose all discretion.
00:27You forget to check who these ten people are.
00:29Opinions do matter, but not everybody's opinion matters.
00:35Learn to listen and learn to not to listen.
00:38If you will live with fools, you will have to listen to fools.
00:41You can't have just one part.
00:43Choose your company wisely.
00:45Why do you have to be with a crowd?
00:48Be with one person or five persons.
00:50Be selective.
