Simplified Meaning:

This quote talks about how some people make a big deal out of something that shouldn't be so important. To explain, imagine someone getting really nervous and stressed about giving a small presentation at work. They start to see it as a huge problem, almost like they're about to climb the tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. But in reality, it's just a short talk in front of their coworkers. In everyday life, it's common to worry too much about small issues or tasks. Instead of seeing them as manageable things, we blow them out of proportion and feel overwhelmed. This can make life more stressful than it needs to be. By keeping things in perspective and not exaggerating their importance, we can handle situations more calmly and effectively. So, instead of treating small matters like huge mountains, we should try to stay calm and deal with them as they are.
