"輝くだけではなく照らすことの方が良い。"
— Thomas Aquinas

Simplified Meaning:
Instead of just looking impressive or showing off, it's much more helpful and valuable to teach and guide others. Think about a teacher who not only knows a lot but also helps students understand and learn. This teacher doesn't just show their own intelligence but shares it, making others smarter, too. For example, if you know how to fix a bike, it's better to teach someone else how to do it rather than just fixing it for them. This way, they learn a new skill and can fix their bike in the future without needing help. So, in life, try to share your knowledge and help others grow, instead of just showing what you can do. This approach benefits more people and creates a positive environment where everyone can improve.
