"On n'apprend pas à se défendre dans le monde en restant sur ses gardes mais en attaquant et en se faisant bien écraser soi-même."
— George Bernard Shaw

Simplified Meaning:
To succeed and become strong in life, you can't just stay cautious and avoid risks. You have to actively face challenges and sometimes even fail. Think about a student learning to ride a bike. They won't learn just by watching others or being careful all the time. They need to get on the bike, pedal, maybe fall a few times, and get back up again. Each fall teaches them balance and builds their skills. In the same way, in life, facing difficulties head-on and learning from mistakes makes you stronger and more capable. So, don't be afraid to engage with tough situations—it’s these experiences that help you grow and improve.
