Summary

This quote suggests that a person's true strength can be measured by how they react to the success of others. If someone willingly celebrates and supports others' achievements without feeling envious or threatened, it demonstrates their secure and confident nature. On the other hand, if someone becomes consumed by envy or resentment towards those who succeed, it reveals a weakness or insecurity within themselves. Therefore, the quote highlights the importance of humility, self-assurance, and the ability to have genuine happiness for others' accomplishments as signs of internal strength.
