"賢者は自らの天国を作り愚者は自らの地獄を受け継ぐ"
— Fernando Pessoa

Simplified Meaning:
This saying means wise people create a good, happy life for themselves through their actions and choices. On the other hand, foolish people end up with bad outcomes because of their poor decisions. Imagine two friends: One studies hard, works responsibly, and treats others kindly. This friend likely ends up with a rewarding job and healthy relationships. The other friend skips school, wastes money, and is rude to people. This friend might struggle with unemployment and loneliness. The lesson here is that our actions shape our lives, and making thoughtful choices leads to a better future, while careless behavior can lead to trouble. By being wise and making good decisions, anyone can build their own happiness.
