Simplified Meaning:

When someone feels embarrassed or put down by others, the best way to overcome that is by remembering their own worth. Imagine a student who failed a test and was laughed at by classmates. Instead of feeling ashamed, the student should focus on their strengths, like being kind or good at sports. By recognizing these positive qualities, the student can regain confidence and self-respect. Treating yourself with respect and recognizing your own value is key to bouncing back from any negative situation. For example, if a worker is unfairly criticized by a boss, instead of feeling humiliated, they can remind themselves of their skills and contributions. This helps them stay strong and maintain their dignity. By appreciating and valuing themselves, anyone can overcome feelings of embarrassment or shame and continue to hold their head high.
