Simplified Meaning:

When someone takes on a role, whether in acting or any other job, it's important for them to really understand and represent that role genuinely. Imagine you're an actor playing a character in a movie. To make the performance believable, you need to really think about how that person would act, speak, and feel. It's not enough to just read the lines; you have to bring the character to life by being sincere and putting yourself in their shoes. In everyday life, this could mean being yourself and genuine in whatever you do. If you're a student, it means studying and participating honestly, not pretending to understand when you don’t. If you’re a friend, it means being true to your feelings and supporting your friends authentically. By being honest and true to your role, whether it’s as an actor, worker, friend, or family member, you build trust and respect from others. It’s about giving your best effort and staying true to who you are and the responsibilities you have.
