“Dare to stand alone.”

What this quote is saying is that no matter what situation you are in, you shouldn’t be afraid to be alone. If people are at a party drinking and doing drugs, don’t be scared to tell them NO. Don’t let them convince you to do it because they are calling you names. If you know that is bad, don’t do it. Also, don’t do it if you just want to fit in with the rest of your friends. If you know they are not leading you down the correct path, leave them. Stand up for yourself and tell them that they’re not the type of friends you want to hang out with. Once again, don’t let them pressure you into doing something you are not capable of doing. If you don’t want to take a drink of alcohol, tell them NO. If you don’t want a puff of that cigarette, tell them NO. Make the right decision even if everybody is against it. Decisions determine your Destiny, also said by Thomas S. Monson. Don’t let the bad people influence you to ruin your career and what you want to do in life.
