"たくさんの人がリムジンに乗りたがっていますが、リムジンが故障したときにあなたと一緒にバスに乗ってくれる人が欲しいのです。"
— Oprah Winfrey
Simplified Meaning:
Many people enjoy being around when things are going well and everything is glamorous and fun, like riding in a fancy limousine. They like sharing in success and the good times. However, the people who really care about you are the ones who will stick with you when things go wrong, like when a luxurious limo breaks down and you have to take a simple bus instead. For example, imagine you suddenly lose your job and can no longer afford expensive dinners or holidays. Some friends might leave you because you can no longer offer them fun experiences. But true friends stay by your side, supporting you during tough times and helping you get back on your feet. This advice means you should value and nurture relationships with people who are there for you not just in prosperity, but also in adversity.
