"La generosidad es dar más de lo que puedes y el orgullo es tomar menos de lo que necesitas"
— Khalil Gibran

Simplified Meaning:
Generosity means sharing even if it is hard for you. Imagine you have ten candies, but you see a friend who has none. If you give them some candies even though you really want to keep them, that is being generous. On the other hand, pride is when you don’t take help or what you need because you don't want others to see you as needy. For example, if you are very thirsty but refuse a drink because you feel embarrassed, you are letting pride get in the way. Being generous can make others happy and create strong friendships. But, letting pride control you can make life harder and stop you from getting the help you need. Balancing the two means knowing when to give to others and when to accept help for yourself.
