Simplified Meaning:
Wise people often have a positive and happy attitude. Imagine a person who has been through many challenges in life but remains cheerful. This shows they understand that worrying too much doesn’t help and that staying calm and upbeat is better. They know how to find joy even in tough times, showing their wisdom. For instance, think of a teacher always smiling and encouraging students, no matter how hard the lesson is. They are wise because they know a good mood makes learning easier. So, having a cheerful outlook in difficult situations reflects deep understanding and inner strength.
