"No hay nada noble en ser superior a tus semejantes. La verdadera nobleza está en ser superior a tu antiguo yo."
— Ernest Hemingway

Simplified Meaning:
Being better than others doesn’t make you a truly good person. What's really important is becoming better than you used to be. Imagine you used to be afraid to speak in public, but over time, you practiced and became more confident. This growth makes you a better, stronger person. This idea can apply to any part of your life. If you used to get angry easily but learned to stay calm, that's real progress. Or if you weren’t very good at a sport and practiced to improve, that’s true achievement. Becoming a better version of yourself every day is more important and meaningful than beating others. So, focus on your own growth and improvements, rather than comparing yourself to those around you.
