If birds sing without worrying about who is listening to them, and monkeys dance without worrying about who is watching them, and hyenas laugh without worrying about who is mocking them, then you too must do what you do best without worrying about who is ridiculing you.

About This Quote

If you are worried about your reputation, you are missing out on the most fun part of life. When you do what you love to do, and perform it with passion, people will find it enjoyable. It is like when you are alone with someone and they make fun of something silly that you have done. You are not worried because it is just a silly thing that happens.

You are not offended or hurt because it is just a silly thing that happens. It was just a silly thing that happened. That’s how it is when you are doing what you love to do, and people are making fun of it.
