About This Quote
"People submit too easily to change from others. And yet, for some reason, whenever they consider changing themselves, the focus is always on what they are giving up, never what they are about to gain." This quotation speaks volumes about the role of self-improvement and the power of thinking in our lives. According to this famous quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson , we tend to give away our power to others by accepting their beliefs and ideas without considering what we stand to gain from them. We should challenge ourselves and look at alternatives where we can get more out of life by using our minds instead of simply believing what someone else tells us.
