About This Quote
The people who fear being judged by others will normally do what is expected of them. They aren’t going to want to do something that they know will get them into trouble. This quote acknowledges the fact that people often do things that they think will be a good idea but then regret when it doesn’t work out. The correct thing to do when you don’t know what you want to do is to simply do what everyone else is doing and let your needs and interests determine what you ultimately choose.
