“Our strength lies not in surpassing others, but in the realization that we can surpass ourselves.”
— Alain de Botton

Simplified Meaning:
True strength comes from knowing we can improve ourselves, rather than always trying to be better than others. For example, think about a student who always compares his grades to his friends. Instead of worrying about being the top of the class, he starts focusing on doing better than he did before. He sets personal goals, works hard, and feels proud when he sees progress. This mindset helps him grow more effectively and is less stressful. In life, focusing on our own progress, instead of competing with others, helps us become the best version of ourselves.
