"Es la no habitabilidad, más que cualquier otro factor, lo que determina nuestro potencial de antifragilidad."

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Simplified Meaning:

Being able to thrive in tough situations and benefit from unexpected changes mostly comes from not relying too much on things staying the same. For example, think about a tree in a forest. If this tree depends on perfect weather, it's very likely to suffer or die when conditions change. But if the tree can handle different weather—like strong winds, heavy rain, or drought—it will actually become stronger. This idea can apply to our lives too. When we get too comfortable with routines and certain ways of doing things, any changes can really throw us off. But if we learn to adapt and deal with different situations, we can turn those challenges into opportunities to grow and become better. So, instead of always seeking comfort and stability, we should sometimes step out of our comfort zones. This helps us become more resilient and able to handle whatever life throws our way. For instance, in history, those who traveled and explored new lands faced many challenges, but they also became stronger, learned new skills, and survived better than those who stayed in one place. Similarly, we should welcome new experiences and challenges to become more adaptable and successful.
