"品格高于智力。"

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Simplified Meaning:

Having a good character is more important than being smart. Imagine you have a friend who always helps others, tells the truth, and is kind. This friend's actions make people trust and respect them. Now, think about another person who is very clever but often lies or acts selfishly. Even though they are smart, people might not like or trust them because of their behavior. In life, the way we treat others and our values shape how we are seen and remembered more than just our knowledge or intelligence. For example, consider historical leaders who are celebrated not just for their brains but for their honesty and empathy, like Mahatma Gandhi, who gained admiration because he stood for peace and fairness. Therefore, focusing on being a good and honest person can lead to deeper, more meaningful relationships and a better life overall.
