“The more you limit yourself, the more resourceful you become.”

Soren Kierkegaard

Simplified Meaning:

When you have fewer options or tools, you get better at using what you do have. Imagine you're stranded on a deserted island with just a few basic items. You'll figure out creative ways to use them to survive, like taking a knife to cut fruit or using leaves to collect rainwater. In history, during World War II, people had limited resources like food and gas. They learned to make do by growing their own vegetables and carpooling to save fuel. If you're studying for a test and only have an hour, you focus really hard and use that time wisely. This idea helps people realize that having less can actually make them clever and inventive. So, if you ever feel stuck or without much, remember that you can still find smart ways to get by and succeed.
