Simplified Meaning:
People who can control or dominate others show a certain level of power. However, those who can control their own desires, emotions, and weaknesses possess a much greater strength. Imagine a person who wants to quit smoking. It's tough to overpower the cravings, but if they manage to resist and stop smoking, they demonstrate incredible self-discipline. This inner strength is even more impressive than any physical power over others. Developing self-control and inner strength can help anyone face challenges in life more effectively. Learning to master your own mind and behavior is one of the strongest abilities a person can have.
