Simplified Meaning:
Understanding other people means you have knowledge and can make smart choices based on how they behave or think. For example, a teacher who understands why their students struggle can help them learn better. But understanding yourself goes deeper. When you know your own strengths, weaknesses, and emotions, you have a deeper awareness. This self-awareness helps you make better decisions for your own life. Imagine a person deciding on a career. If they know what they are passionate about and where their skills lie, they will choose a path that makes them happy and successful. Knowing yourself brings a special kind of clarity and fulfillment.
