Simplified Meaning:

Everyone is responsible for who they become based on their actions. Imagine you are building a house. Each brick you use and where you place it determines how strong and beautiful the house will be. In the same way, each decision and action we take shapes our lives and character. For example, if a student studies hard and stays focused, they learn a lot and can do well in their exams, leading to a brighter future. On the other hand, if they choose to ignore their studies and play games all day, they might not do well in school and miss out on opportunities. This idea teaches us that our efforts and actions directly influence the life we lead and the person we become. Therefore, it’s important to make good choices and take positive actions to build a better life for ourselves.
