“The clearest sign of wisdom is continued cheerfulness”
— Michel de Montaigne

Simplified Meaning:
Being wise means being happy and positive most of the time. Imagine someone who goes through tough times but still manages to smile and stay upbeat. Their happiness shows they understand life well and know that bad moments will pass. They don't get easily upset or worried because they know how to handle their emotions. For example, think of a grandmother who has seen a lot of challenges but still enjoys simple things like gardening or spending time with family. She knows life is full of ups and downs, but staying cheerful helps her enjoy it more. If you want to be wise, try to find joy in everyday moments and stay positive even when things get tough.
