To thine own self, be true.

We've all heard this quotation a lot. Not many of us know whence it came. This is a line from Hamlet—Shakespeare's play Hamlet. Hamlet was the prince of Denmark, and Shakespeare had read a lot about him, enough to be inspired to write a play around this personality. These lines from the play are one of the most beautiful lines ever written on the subject of building a strong character. I have explained each line in the reading.

Dear Mr. Sathyaish,

This is a very good quote. Without a doubt, this will be the first lesson that one should take if one is keen on self-development.
