This poem describes the traits of someone with the greatest personality. It says that if you can remain calm and trust yourself when others doubt you, wait patiently without growing tired, avoid lies and hatred even when faced with those things, and treat both triumph and disaster equally without being swayed by either, then you possess great personality. It also says that if you can accept both praise and criticism with equal grace, continue working hard even after facing setbacks, maintain your integrity when interacting with all people, and make the most of your time, then you will truly be a great person.
