“Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not”
— Neil deGrasse Tyson
Simplified Meaning:
People often cheer for those who have already made it to the top but don’t offer much support to those who are still trying. Imagine a student getting great grades – everyone celebrates their success. However, another student struggling with their studies might not get any extra help or motivation. It’s like clapping for someone who already finished a race while ignoring someone who is still running. Instead of just praising those who have achieved their goals, we should also encourage and help others who are still working towards theirs. This way, more people can succeed and feel supported.
