Simplified Meaning:

When people get a lot of praise and compliments, it can get to their head and make them believe they are perfect. This can stop them from trying harder or making improvements. The best way to avoid this trap is to keep working and stay focused on what you are doing, instead of just enjoying the praise. Imagine a student who gets a lot of praise for always getting A's on their tests. If they stop studying because they feel they don’t need to, they might eventually start getting lower grades. But if they continue studying hard, they will keep improving and learning new things. In the same way, anyone who receives praise for their work should use it as motivation to continue their efforts, instead of resting on their laurels. This keeps them grounded and helps them achieve even more.
