Simplified Meaning:
Money can either be something you control or something that controls you. When a smart person has money, they use it wisely to make their life better and help others. They don't let it change who they are or make them greedy. For example, someone like Bill Gates uses his wealth to fund healthcare and education projects around the world. On the other hand, if a foolish person has money, they often let it take over their life. They might spend it carelessly or become obsessed with getting more, like a person who wins the lottery and quickly loses everything by making bad choices. To make sure money works for you instead of controlling you, focus on smart spending, saving, and remembering what really matters in life.
