About This Quote

Sometimes, one's appearance or abilities may give someone a certain level of respect or admiration, but such status does not necessarily translate to material abundance. For example, if a woman is beautiful and talented in the kitchen, she may be admired and respected by others, but still struggle to make ends meet. To avoid this trap and get ahead in life, we must focus on the things that we can do well and strive for excellence in those areas.
