Simplified Meaning:
When someone who is really respected and admired gives you a compliment, it can feel more rewarding than any prize or reward you could receive. For example, imagine you are a student and you work very hard on a project. If your teacher, who is well-liked and known for having high standards, tells you that you did an excellent job, that praise can make you feel very proud and happy. It might mean more to you than just getting a good grade. This idea can be applied in your life by focusing on earning respect and kind words from people you look up to, rather than only seeking material rewards or recognition. It’s a reminder that approval from those we admire often carries deeper meaning and satisfaction.
