Simplified Meaning:

Every choice you make has its consequences. Imagine you are deciding whether to study for an exam or not. If you study, you spend time and effort that you could have used for fun activities, but you might do well on the test. If you don’t study, you get more free time now, but you might fail the exam and face bigger problems later, like poor grades or limited career options. This idea applies to all parts of life. For example, if you work very hard at your job, you might earn more money, but you could also miss out on time with your family and friends. On the other hand, if you don’t work hard, you have more free time, but you might struggle financially and miss out on career opportunities. So, it’s important to think carefully about your decisions and understand that there will always be a trade-off, no matter what you choose.
