Summary

This quote highlights the importance of maintaining one's self-respect and dignity, even in the face of difficulties or failures. It suggests that giving up on life may seem easier than accepting one's faults or shortcomings. However, surrendering to such negative emotions and a sense of inferiority ultimately does more harm than good. It encourages individuals to persevere and continue striving for success, rather than resigning themselves to a state of defeat.
