"Si une victoire est racontée en détail on ne peut plus la distinguer d'une défaite."
— Jean Paul Sartre

Simplified Meaning:
When you celebrate a win by talking too much about the little details, it can make the win seem not so great. Imagine you won a soccer game. If you keep talking about how hard it was, how many mistakes were made, and how close you were to losing, people might start to think it wasn't really a great win. They might even think you barely won or that it was nearly a loss. In history, if a general talks only about how tough a battle was, people might forget the victory and focus on the struggles instead. For your own life, if you achieve something big, like doing well in a test, focus on the achievement itself. Don’t dwell too much on how hard it was or how often you almost gave up. This way, your success stays clear and impressive.
