00:00 Don't be vulnerable to praise.
00:02 If you know where you stand, why should you allow someone to sketch a bigger figure of
00:10 you?
00:11 I know my size.
00:12 Why are you portraying me as bigger than what I actually am?
00:17 That's not allowed.
00:18 You should not do that.
00:19 I know my worth.
00:20 Why are you praising me beyond my worth?
00:22 And if you find somebody praising you beyond your worth, you should immediately become
00:27 cautious.
00:29 This fellow is not your friend.
00:30 I know I'm not doing something right.
00:33 Why are you supporting me at this moment?
00:35 You should not be supporting me.
00:36 This is called self-knowledge.
00:38 I know what I'm doing is not right.
00:40 So if you really are my well-wisher, you should not be supporting me.
00:43 Instead, you should be stopping me.
00:45 Instead of stopping me, you are...
00:47 But we love it when somebody supports us, right?
00:50 No.
00:51 That's called not knowing yourself.
00:53 If you really are a friend, come on, stop me.
00:56 That's what friendship is all about.
