About This Quote
People will love you for what you can do for them, and some won't like you at all. The quote is saying that everyone has their own opinion on who they think you are and what you can do for them. Some people will love you regardless of who you are and what you do for them, but others will love you only because of what you can do for them. Some people believe that they’ll only be accepted by other people if they have money, status, or talents.
This is not true. They can be accepted regardless of those things, but it takes a lot of effort to earn those things and then lose them over time.
