Simplified Meaning:

When you try to fix something that is bothering you personally, you often come up with the most original and useful ideas. Imagine if you often lose your keys and it's always a hassle. You might invent a clever place to keep them so you never lose them again. This kind of problem-solving leads to creative solutions because you understand exactly what needs to be fixed and are highly motivated to find an answer. Many successful products and services started this way. For example, the founder of Spanx created the product because she couldn't find the right kind of undergarment to wear with her clothes. By addressing her own need, she created something that helped many other people too. So, if you are facing a challenge or an inconvenience in your daily life, think about how you can solve it. This might not only help you but also turn out to be an idea that benefits others. In essence, pay attention to your own struggles—they might lead you to create something valuable.
