“The man who does not value himself cannot value anything or anyone”
— Ayn Rand

Simplified Meaning:
If a person doesn't think they are important or worthwhile, they will struggle to appreciate the worth of anything or anyone else. Imagine you have a friend who always says bad things about themselves and doesn't believe they deserve good things. Because they think so little of themselves, they might also have a hard time being happy for others. For example, if this friend gets a new job but keeps saying they’re not good enough for it, they may not truly support others in their successes either. By learning to respect and appreciate themselves, they can start to value the good things in their life and support the people around them better. When you see your own importance, it becomes easier to see the importance in others and in the world.
