"尊严不在于拥有荣誉,而在于值得拥有荣誉"
— Aristotle
Simplified Meaning:
It's not about having fancy titles or awards, but about truly earning them through your actions and choices. Imagine a student who always cheats on exams and gets top grades. They may have high marks, but they don't really deserve the honor because they didn't work honestly. On the other hand, there's a student who studies hard, helps classmates, and shows kindness. Even if they don’t always get the highest grades, they deserve respect and honor because of their good behavior and effort. Living with dignity means being honest, kind, and hardworking, so that any recognition you receive is truly merited.
