It’s always nice when you do something and it’s well received as opposed to the other way which God knows happens to everybody. When the good times come around, you take a deep breath, appreciate it, but not take it too seriously.
Meaning of the quote
It's great when people like what you do, but that doesn't always happen. Sometimes things don't work out the way you want them to, and that's just part of life. When you have good things happen, take a moment to enjoy it, but don't get too caught up in it. It's important to stay balanced and not get too carried away, even when things are going well.
