"自分自身について真実を話さなければ、他の人についても話すことはできません。"
— Virginia Woolf

Simplified Meaning:
If you aren't honest about who you are, it's difficult to be honest about others. Imagine someone who always lies about their own achievements, making themselves seem more important or more skilled than they really are. When this person talks about others, you can't trust what they say because they might be trying to make themselves look better or hide their insecurities. For instance, if someone claims they are a great team player but often take all the credit for group work, they can't be fair in judging how well their teammates are doing. To live by this advice, start by being true to yourself. Acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses honestly. This will help you see and describe others more fairly and truthfully.
