To thine own self be true Why Should I Care

Why Should I Care?

Polonius may be a joke, but the play he's in is decidedly not. Hamlet is all about teenage angst and figuring out how to deal with the pressures of family, a girlfriend (or boyfriend), and your own beliefs (plus: murder). Sound familiar?

The thing is, we all go through these pressures today. People will tell us how to dress, how to talk, what music to listen to; and sometimes, we listen to them instead of thinking about whether we actually like all that stuff. And it doesn't just stop with our clothes and iTunes accounts either. Some people will even tell you what job to get, how to run your life, and what to believe.

All of those things are an expression of your individuality this quote stands as a warning not to let anyone change you. So be yourself—whoever that is. Now that's advice worth taking, don't you think?
