Crustacean Mentality

For every glow of your shine, there will always be others who try to extinguish your flame than to learn how to glow on their own.  

Considering all resources that they spent trying to extinguish your fire, they would have shone already if they only chose to try on their own.

Truly, each one of us is the "only one." My daughter once contemplated following her friends to chorus club. I asked her: what do you want? She chose to keep lugging around her saxaphone and played it all through H.S. part of the marching band. We must follow our path, not someone else's and she still follows her own path.
