"Si je ne suis pas pour moi-même qui sera pour moi Si je suis seulement pour moi que suis-je Si pas maintenant quand"
— Rabbi Hillel

Simplified Meaning:
It's important to care for yourself and stand up for your needs, because if you don't, no one else will do it for you. Think about a student speaking up when they need help; if they stay quiet, their struggles might go unnoticed. But at the same time, if you only ever focus on yourself and ignore others, you're not really living a meaningful life. Imagine a friend who always asks for favors but never offers to help—it doesn't feel good, right? Lastly, taking action shouldn't be delayed. Waiting for the 'right moment' often means nothing gets done. If you have a goal or want to make a difference, start now, because waiting too long could mean missed opportunities.
