Simplified Meaning:

This quote means that a strong or confident person does not worry about what less powerful or less confident people think of them. Imagine a famous artist who is very skilled at painting. If some people, who don’t know much about art, say bad things about the artist's work, the artist will not feel upset or bothered. This is because the artist knows their own worth and talent, and understands that those people’s opinions do not change the fact that they are good at what they do. In everyday life, if you are confident and sure about yourself, you should not let negative comments from those who do not understand or appreciate your abilities affect you. For example, if you are a good soccer player and someone who has never played soccer criticizes you, you can choose to ignore their opinion because it doesn't really matter. By focusing on your own strengths and ignoring needless negativity, you can continue to improve and stay happy without getting dragged down by others.
