"Ful wys is he that can himselven knowe"
Simplified meaning
Knowing yourself is very important. It means understanding your own strengths, weaknesses, and emotions. For example, if you know you get very angry when you're stressed, you can find ways to stay calm. This helps you make better decisions and avoid problems. When you know yourself, you can be more confident and deal with challenges better. It's like being a good friend to yourself and knowing what you need to be happy and successful.
