“Don’t feel sorry for yourself. Only assholes do that.”

Haruki Murakami

Simplified Meaning:

Feeling sorry for yourself means sitting around and thinking how unfair life is instead of doing something about it. It's a waste of time and makes you feel worse. Imagine you fell off your bike and scraped your knee. You could sit there crying, thinking about how unlucky you are, or you could get up, clean the wound, and try again. Successful people bounce back quickly because they don’t dwell on problems. They take action to fix things. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself when something goes wrong, look for a solution and move forward. This helps you become stronger and happier.
