"真正的外交不仅寻求权力,还寻求尊重。"

Simplified Meaning:

Good diplomacy involves more than just trying to be stronger than others; it’s also about earning their respect. Imagine two kids on a playground. One kid always takes the toys away from others and uses his strength to get what he wants. The other kid, however, shares his toys, listens to others, and helps solve arguments. The first kid might be powerful, but the second kid is respected and liked by everyone. In our world, countries and leaders shouldn’t just aim to show how strong and powerful they are. They should also focus on being fair, listening to others, and making decisions that benefit everyone. For example, a respected leader can bring countries together to work on big problems like climate change because others trust and listen to them. If you want to be successful and make a positive impact, focus on being kind and fair rather than just trying to be in control. Through this approach, you will not only achieve your goals but also build meaningful and lasting relationships.
