Prompt 28
"If your number one goal is to make sure that everyone likes and approves of you, then you risk sacrificing your uniqueness and, therefore, your excellence"

Yes.

Is there even anything more that needs to be said about this? I never cared whether or not anyone liked me or approved of me except maybe my father - but he never did. I just did what was necessary to achieve my goals. I was not particularly well-liked, in fact I'm sure the mere mention of my name incited wrath and hatred amongst the Sindarin. Did I care? Not one bit.

Now, I find I've mellowed in this age of peace, and I've discovered that people actually do like me after all.
