— Muhammad Ali

Simplified Meaning:
When someone thinks very highly of themselves, it can be difficult for them to stay modest or humble. Imagine a famous athlete who wins every game and gets lots of praise; they might start believing they are better than everyone else. Because they feel so special, they find it challenging to stay grounded and not brag. It's like a top student who always gets the highest grades; they might start thinking they know more than their classmates and not listen to others' ideas. To stay humble, even when successful, one needs to remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses and that there is always something new to learn from others.
