"الثروة مثل ماء البحر؛ كلما شربنا أكثر، ازددنا عطشًا؛ وينطبق الشيء نفسه على الشهرة."
— Arthur Schopenhauer

Simplified Meaning:
When people try to get rich or famous, they often think it will make them happy. But just like drinking salty ocean water makes you more thirsty, getting money or fame can make you want even more. Imagine a person who wins a lot of money. At first, they are excited. But soon, they start worrying about keeping that money and wanting more of it. They are never satisfied. Historically, many famous people, like celebrities, always feel pressure to stay in the spotlight and get even more famous. Instead of being happy with what they have, they keep wanting more, but it never feels like enough. So, it's important to be happy with who you are and what you have, rather than always chasing after more.
