“If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?”
— Rabbi Hillel

Simplified Meaning:
Taking care of yourself is important because no one else will do it for you. Imagine if you don't look out for your own health; you may get sick and not be able to do anything you want. But, if you only care about yourself and ignore others, you won't have friends and might feel lonely. Think about sharing food with a friend; you feel good, and your friend is happy too. Waiting to act later on things like helping others or improving yourself might mean you miss good chances. So, start taking care of yourself now while also being kind and helping others around you.
