"私たちは自分の父親や姉妹、兄弟、学校、先生たちを責めるべきだと教えられてきました。誰でも責めることができるけれど、自分を責めることは決してありません。それは決してあなたのせいではない。しかし、それは常にあなたのせいです。なぜなら、もし変えたいなら変わらなければならないのはあなた自身だからです。"
— Katherine Hepburn
Simplified Meaning:
In life, we often find ourselves blaming others when things go wrong. It’s easy to point fingers at our family, friends, or even institutions like schools and workplaces. This quote is saying that while it's common to blame others, real change starts with looking at ourselves first. For example, if you’re not doing well in school, you might blame your teachers or classmates. But if you want better grades, you have to change your study habits or seek extra help. The main idea is that we control our actions and choices. To improve our situations, we need to take responsibility and make changes ourselves. This mindset helps us grow and become better people, instead of always staying stuck in the same problems.
