“I am not a saint unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying”
— Nelson Mandela

Simplified Meaning:
Everyone makes mistakes, but what really matters is not giving up and always trying to be better. Think of a person who has done wrong things but learns from them and keeps working hard to improve. A saint, in this sense, is not someone who never does wrong, but someone who never stops trying to do what is right. For example, imagine a student who fails a test but studies harder for the next one and eventually succeeds. This shows that continuous effort and learning from errors is valuable. We can apply this idea in our lives by not being too hard on ourselves for our mistakes but by focusing on our efforts to keep growing and doing better.
