If you talk to fishes, they will convince you that gliding in water is the best life.  If you talk to the birds they will tell you that flying is how you reach the greatest heights.

People will always tell us that one way is the best, or at least better. Opinions are everywhere. You will be made to rethink about the choice you have made.
