“We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.”
— Ray Bradbury

Simplified Meaning:
We often admire people for their greatest achievements, like winning a gold medal in the Olympics or becoming a billionaire, but what really shows someone's strength is how far they've come from where they began. For example, imagine a student who started school hardly able to read. Watching them become a great reader by the end of the year is a big accomplishment, even if they aren't the best in the class. It's important to appreciate the effort and progress someone makes rather than just their final success. Everyone begins their journey from different places, and some have to overcome more obstacles than others. By focusing on the distance traveled, we can understand and appreciate the hard work and growth people have gone through.
