“Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. ”

Simplified Meaning:
Being able to control or influence other people shows that you are strong. However, having control over your own thoughts, emotions, and actions is even more powerful. Imagine a leader who can make a whole group of people do what they want; that shows they are strong. But if the same leader is calm, handles stress well, and always acts according to their values, they have real power over themselves. For example, when someone feels angry but chooses to stay calm and talk things through, they show inner strength. Being in control of oneself can lead to better decisions, stronger relationships, and a more fulfilling life. If you work on understanding and improving yourself, you can handle life's challenges more effectively.
