“Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance; and be ready to let it go.”
— Marcus Aurelius
Simplified Meaning:
When you get money or success, don't let it make you feel better than others. Stay humble and kind no matter how much you have. Imagine a person who suddenly becomes very rich. If they start treating others badly or showing off too much, people won’t respect them. However, if they remain down-to-earth and generous, they keep good relationships. Also, understand that wealth can come and go. Be prepared for times when you might lose it and stay strong without becoming overly attached. This way, you'll handle both wealth and loss gracefully, keeping a balanced and happy life.
