Simplified Meaning:

This quote is saying that instead of asking for permission to do something, you should focus on overcoming any obstacles that might get in your way. It's about being bold and determined. Imagine you want to start a business and people tell you it won’t work. Instead of waiting for their approval, you should find ways to prove them wrong and succeed despite their doubts. In history, think of someone like Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat on a bus because she knew it was wrong to be treated unfairly. She didn't wait for others to let her do it; she just did what was right and faced the challenges. You can apply this idea in your own life by believing in yourself and not letting negativity or doubt hold you back. Focus on achieving your goals, no matter who tries to stop you.
