“A man’s true wealth is the good he does in this world ”
— Herman Melville

Simplified Meaning:
Having a lot of money or fancy things doesn't make a person truly rich. What really matters is how kind and helpful they are to others. For example, if someone volunteers at a food bank or helps build houses for people in need, they are creating real value in the world. This kind of goodness makes them rich in a way that money can't. We all remember and appreciate people who are generous and loving, more than those who just have a lot of things. By doing good deeds, anyone can feel truly wealthy because they make a positive difference in other people's lives.
