"هر که خود را فروتن سازد سرافراز خواهد شد و هر که خود را سرافراز سازد فروتن خواهد شد"

Simplified Meaning:

If you act modest and don't boast about your achievements, others will respect you and lift you up. On the other hand, if you're always bragging and making yourself seem better than others, people will bring you down and you'll end up looking foolish. Think of someone at work who quietly does their job well without seeking praise. Eventually, their hard work gets noticed, and they might receive a promotion. But if there’s another person who always talks about their own successes and tries to show off, colleagues might get annoyed and criticize them, and they might even miss out on promotions. So, it’s better to stay humble and let others praise you rather than praising yourself.
