"自尊心はあなた自身から来るものであり、あなたが何をするかは二の次です"

Simplified Meaning:

Feeling good about yourself starts with understanding and valuing who you are as a person, rather than what you achieve or do. Imagine you have a friend who is always kind, honest, and caring. People like them not because they won a race or got the best grades, but simply because they are a good person. Sometimes, we may think we need to be the best at everything to feel worthy, but true self-respect comes from inside, from the qualities that make us unique and good-hearted. For example, if you just focus on getting high marks in school to feel good about yourself, what happens if you get a lower grade one time? But, if you know you are hardworking and thoughtful, you will still feel proud of yourself no matter the outcome. So, it’s important to appreciate the inner qualities that truly define you. This can help you feel more confident and happy in everyday life.
