“If I am a cup maker, I’m interested in making the best cup I possibly can. My effort goes into that cup, not what people think about it.”

Simplified Meaning:
When you focus on making something, put all your energy into creating the best version of it, rather than worrying about what others will say about your work. Think of an artist painting a picture. If the artist keeps thinking about pleasing everyone, they might get distracted and not paint as well. But if they focus on their skill and passion, the painting turns out beautifully because they gave their best effort. This idea teaches us to concentrate on doing our best in any task, whether it's a project at work or a hobby, without getting distracted by others' opinions. By focusing on our own improvement and dedication, we create better results and can be proud of our work.
