Simplified Meaning:

Imagine you're running a race with a group of friends. If you just stop running and stand still, all your friends will keep going and get ahead of you. This quote is saying that in life, if you don't keep trying and moving forward, others will pass you by. Think about learning a new skill like playing the guitar. If you stop practicing, others who continue to practice will get better while you stay at the same level or even get worse. In history, companies that didn’t innovate or adapt to new technologies often failed, while those that did continued to succeed. For example, Blockbuster didn’t adapt to the new digital streaming trend, and it went bankrupt, while Netflix innovated and grew. In your own life, it means always looking for ways to improve and grow, whether it's learning something new, improving skills, or adapting to changes. Keep moving forward to avoid being left behind.
