“Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.”
— Buddha

Simplified Meaning:
Don’t think that what you have is more amazing than it actually is, and don’t be jealous of what others have. If you're always wishing for what someone else has, you’ll never feel calm or happy inside. Imagine a student who gets an average grade on a test but feels disappointed because their friend got the highest score. Instead of feeling bad and wishing they had their friend’s grade, they should focus on doing their best and appreciating what they achieved. Being content with what you have and not comparing yourself to others helps you feel more satisfied and relaxed. It’s about finding happiness in your own journey and not getting distracted by what others are doing.
