What does this quote mean?

I'm not as soft or as generous a person as I would be if the world hadn't changed me. - Bobby Fisher

(I'm not good at English so please explain this quote to me. It is a bit confusing.)
He is stating he has been through a lot in his life and it has hardened him over time. What he has been through changed him and made him less generous and less sensitive.
use google translate to translate to ur language
@natbee56 Google translate doesn't always work. I mean, an American friend of mine, wanted to ask me something in my native language and used Google translate, and it translated something that first was illogical, and second it was grammatically incorrect. My reaction was just "What were you trying to say?!" So, google translate might betray you.

#1 Yes, #1 is true. I'll give you a tip for next time so you don't ask in forums: Take your time and focus on it. Sometimes you haven't heard the words in the current language (in your case English) but maybe in another one you know, and you might came up to something. So, take your time, focus, and slowly translate it word by word. Saying this, because I'm same when it comes up to something in French 😂*shrug*
