“People say bad things about you in the paper on Monday, and then on Wednesday, you’re the greatest thing since sliced bread. I’ve seen that cycle, so why would I be nervous about it happening?”
— Kobe Bryant

Simplified Meaning:
People can quickly change their opinions about someone. One day, they might criticize or speak badly about you, and just a few days later, they might praise you and say you’re amazing. This kind of change happens often and is part of life. For example, a celebrity might receive bad reviews after a movie release, but when they do something impressive next, people forget the past criticism and admire them again. If you understand that people’s opinions are fickle and can change, you won’t worry too much when they are negative because you know it’s just temporary. Instead of being stressed, you can focus on doing your best, knowing that people will eventually appreciate you again.
