"Que cada uno barra frente a su propia puerta y todo el mundo estará limpio"
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Simplified Meaning:
If each person takes care of their own responsibilities and problems, then the whole community, or even the world, will be better off. Imagine a street where everyone has a house. If each person makes sure to clean and tidy up just the area right in front of their own home, the entire street will end up being clean without anyone having to do extra work. In real life, this could mean making sure you do your job well at work or being kind and respectful in your interactions with others. By focusing on your own actions and setting a good example, you help create a better environment for everyone. The advice here is to start with yourself – your efforts count towards a bigger, positive change.
