Simplified meaning
When we go through really tough times or face big challenges, and we survive them, we often become tougher and more resilient. Think about a tree that grows in a windy place; the strong winds make its roots go deeper into the ground, making the tree stand stronger in the future. Similarly, when we face hardships, we learn new things about ourselves, gain new skills, and our character becomes more solid. For example, imagine someone who loses their job. At first, it's very difficult and upsetting. But then, they might find a new job they like even more or learn new skills that make them more valuable in the workplace. In the end, they become more confident and stronger. So, if you ever face a big problem, remember that getting through it can make you a stronger, better person in the end.
