"Everything stinks till it's finished."
Simplified meaning
When you start working on something, it can seem really difficult and messy at first, like a room in the middle of being cleaned. Imagine baking a cake: at the beginning, you have flour everywhere, dirty dishes, and it looks chaotic. But as you keep going, things start to come together. By the time you're done, you have a delicious cake and a clean kitchen. This quote is saying that the process of working on something often feels tough and unpleasant, but once you finish, it all makes sense and looks good. It's a reminder to keep pushing through the hard parts because the end result is worth it.
