“To remain stable is to exist on the brink of collapse”

Simplified Meaning:
When something stays exactly the same for too long, it risks falling apart because it hasn't adapted to changing conditions. Imagine a house built first but never maintained. Over time, it starts to show cracks because it hasn't been repaired. Just like that house, if we don't make small changes or improvements in our lives, we might suddenly face big problems. For example, if you never update your skills at work, you might struggle when new technology comes in. So, it's important to keep learning and growing to avoid being caught off guard by new challenges. This advice helps us see the value in being flexible and always improving to stay strong and successful.
