Simplified Meaning:

Imagine you have a friend who loves eating candy all the time. If you always give them candy, it might make them happy for a little while, but it won’t be good for their health in the long run. Instead, giving them healthy food, like fruits and vegetables, is better for them because it helps their body stay strong, even if it's not what they always want. In life, it's more important to focus on what will truly help someone grow and improve, rather than just satisfying their temporary wishes. For example, a teacher might give their students challenging homework because it helps them learn, even though the students might prefer easy tasks. This way of thinking means looking out for someone's best interests and supporting their true needs to help them be better and healthier in the future. When applying this mindset, it’s about making choices that benefit someone’s well-being and personal growth. For instance, advising a friend to study for their exams instead of going out to party ensures they are more likely to succeed. By focusing on what people need, we contribute to their long-term happiness and success.
