“It is better to destroy one's own errors than those of others.”
— Democritus

Simplified Meaning:
It's more important to fix your own mistakes than to focus on the mistakes of other people. For example, imagine you're part of a group project at school. Instead of pointing fingers at what everyone else did wrong, you'll help the group more by correcting your own errors first and improving your part of the project. This way, you set a good example and might inspire others to do the same. Plus, when you concentrate on your own flaws, you become a better person. So, next time something goes wrong, start by looking at what you could have done better before criticizing others. This approach not only helps you grow but also makes you a more positive influence on the people around you.
