“Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.”
— Nelson Mandela

Simplified Meaning:
When people only look at someone's achievements, they might miss the real story of hard work and persistence behind those successes. Imagine a person learning to ride a bicycle. They probably fell many times before they could ride smoothly. The important part is not how great they are at riding now but how they kept trying every time they fell. This quote is like that—it's saying that the true measure of someone is not just their victories, but how they deal with challenges and failures. If someone applies this idea to their life, they will understand that making mistakes and facing setbacks are part of the journey. What matters more is their determination to keep going despite difficulties.
