“The cynics are right nine times out of ten”

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, people who are always negative or doubtful about things seem to be right a lot of the time. For example, imagine a person who always says a new business will fail. If many new businesses do indeed fail, this negative person might feel they are often correct. But just because these doubters seem correct doesn’t mean things can't succeed. Think about an inventor working on a new project. Many might say it’s impossible or it will fail. While the doubtful people might be right many times, there’s still a chance the inventor's project could work and become a big success, like the invention of the light bulb. In your own life, if you listen to cynics too much, you might never try anything new or take risks. It's important to remember that while they might be right often, there is always room for success and positive outcomes. Believing in possibilities and staying hopeful can lead to surprising and wonderful results, even if the odds seem against you.
