“The man who does not value himself, cannot value anything or anyone”
— Ayn Rand
Simplified Meaning:
If someone doesn't think they're important or worth much, it's hard for them to see the real value in other people or things. For example, imagine a person who feels they aren't good enough. They might have a hard time appreciating their friends, family, or even their job because they don't believe they deserve love, respect, or success. It's like trying to water plants with an empty watering can – if you don’t have any water (or self-worth), you can’t help the plants grow (or see the worth in others). Taking care of yourself and recognizing your own value makes it easier to really care about and respect everything and everyone else around you. By learning to appreciate yourself, you’ll start to better appreciate the people and things in your life.
