“For it is easy to criticize and break down the spirit of others, but to know yourself takes a lifetime.”

Bruce Lee

Simplified Meaning:

It's very simple to point out other people's mistakes and make them feel bad. However, understanding your own feelings, thoughts, and actions is much harder and takes a lot of time. Imagine a teacher who easily scolds students for their errors but never reflects on how they teach or learn. The teacher can spend years perfecting their craft and improving themselves. Similarly, instead of judging others quickly, spend more time getting to know yourself and your own strengths and weaknesses. This self-awareness helps you grow as a person and build better relationships with others.
