Summary

This quote compares people to dirt, highlighting two contrasting effects they can have on an individual's growth and development. Just as fertile soil nourishes plants, people can provide support, encouragement, and guidance, helping others to thrive and become better versions of themselves. On the other hand, negative influences can hinder personal growth, stifling one's potential and leading to a decline in their well-being. It underscores the importance of surrounding oneself with positive influences and avoiding those who may have a detrimental impact on one's growth and happiness.
