Summary

This quote implies that when someone is in a state of despair or negativity (slump), others around them tend to be influenced by this negative energy and also experience a similar feeling. Conversely, it suggests that when someone takes action or strives for success (push), they are often carrying this burden alone and must rely on their own determination and effort. It highlights the power of an individual's mindset and attitude in influencing their surroundings and underlines the need for personal drive and resilience.
