Summary

This quote suggests that self-respect should not be solely determined by outward appearances or material possessions, such as the number of clean shirts a person wears. It implies that there are alternative qualities and values that should be considered when evaluating one's self-respect, such as integrity, character, and behavior. In essence, it encourages individuals to focus on inner qualities rather than superficial displays in order to assess their own self-worth.

There are 5+ billion people out there now who are willing to study harder, work harder for less money and be more industrious than we are. And we're linked to them by technology.
