“If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.”
— Mother Teresa

Simplified Meaning:
When you have humility, you stay grounded no matter what happens. If people compliment you, it doesn’t make you arrogant. If they criticize you, it doesn’t crush you. You stay calm and confident because you understand your true self. Think of it like a strong tree with deep roots; no matter how hard the wind blows, the tree stands firm. In life, if you know your strengths and weaknesses and don’t let others’ opinions affect you too much, you’ll remain steady and balanced. For example, if a student gets a high grade, they don’t become overconfident, and if they get a low grade, they don’t feel worthless—they just keep working hard, knowing their worth isn't defined by one result.
