Understanding this quote
The quote acknowledges the appeal of fame: admiration, attention, and money. But those rewards are not enough by themselves. “You really have to know yourself” means a public success can be enjoyed safely only when a person understands who they are beneath the applause and glamour. The final point shifts the focus from being admired by others to having a clear sense of self.
