Summary

This quote highlights the misconception that one's self-worth should be solely based on their wealth. It suggests that equating self-esteem with financial success is not a healthy mindset to have. True self-esteem stems from intrinsic qualities, personal achievements, relationships, and a sense of fulfillment, rather than material possessions or monetary wealth. It promotes the idea that self-confidence should not be dependent on external factors, like wealth, but on a deeper understanding and appreciation of one's own worth.
