— Aristotle Onassis

Simplified Meaning:
Having a lot of money doesn't automatically make a person great or admirable. Instead, being truly skilled, virtuous, or excellent in what you do can lead to wealth and bring many other good things into your life. For example, think about a skilled and honest doctor who becomes well-respected because of their ability to help people. Due to their reputation for excellence, more patients come to them, and they end up making a good living. This shows that hard work and being the best at what you do can eventually lead to financial success and a good life, rather than wealth being the starting point for achieving greatness. So, instead of focusing solely on getting rich, aim to be excellent in your efforts and the rewards will follow.
