“Don't let success get to your head and failure to your heart.”

Jayson Tatum

Simplified Meaning:

When you do well and achieve something, it’s important to stay humble and not let it make you arrogant. Similarly, when things don’t go as planned and you fail, don't let it make you feel hopeless or worthless. Imagine a student who always gets high grades. If they start thinking they are better than everyone else because of their success, they might stop working hard and eventually fail in the future. On the other hand, if another student fails a test and believes they are not smart enough, they might stop trying and miss out on future success. To live a balanced and happy life, it’s good to keep a level head when things go well, and stay strong and keep trying when things go badly. This way, you continue learning and growing, regardless of the ups and downs.
