"所有人都是骗子。他们之间唯一的区别是有些人承认这一点。我自己却否认。"
— H. L. Mencken

Simplified Meaning:
Everyone makes mistakes and has flaws, but not everyone is honest about them. Some people are brave enough to admit when they're wrong or when they have done something misleading. Others, however, will deny their faults and pretend they are perfect. Imagine a situation where two workers make the same mistake at their job. One worker openly admits the error and works to fix it, earning the trust of their colleagues. The other avoids responsibility and blames someone else, damaging relationships and causing distrust. In life, being honest about your shortcomings can help build stronger connections with others because people appreciate sincerity and honesty.
