"Eres rico si y solo si el dinero que rechazas sabe mejor que el dinero que aceptas"
— Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Simplified Meaning:
Being truly rich means that the joy or satisfaction you get from saying 'no' to certain money is greater than the happiness from saying 'yes.' Imagine you have a chance to earn a lot of money by doing something that feels wrong or goes against your values. If you turn down that money and feel proud of your choices, you're showing real wealth. It's not just about how much money you have but feeling content without needing to compromise your principles. For example, if someone is offered extra money to lie or cheat but chooses not to because honesty matters more to them, they are rich in character and integrity. This kind of richness can make you feel happier and more at peace with yourself than just having more cash.
