“You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you”
— Morgan Freeman

Simplified Meaning:
When you judge your own success or worth, you tend to look at how the people around you see themselves compared to you. Imagine you're at school, and you try your best to get good grades. You notice that your friends often ask for your help with their homework because they think you're really smart. This makes you feel proud and confident because the people who look up to you make you realize your own strengths. In this way, if others consider you important, you start to see yourself as important too. So, if someone respects you and looks to you for guidance, it boosts your self-esteem and helps you see your own value. This can encourage you to keep working hard and be someone others can rely on.
