Summary

This quote emphasizes the transformative power of success. It suggests that achieving success has the potential to shape an individual's character in two contrasting directions. On one hand, success can inflate one's ego, leading to arrogance and cultivating a sense of entitlement, as represented by the term "prima donna." On the other hand, success can act as a catalyst for personal growth, eroding insecurities, and allowing positive qualities to shine through. It implies that the way individuals handle success determines whether they become self-absorbed or become more grounded, authentic, and kinder human beings.
