“He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else”

Benjamin Franklin

Simplified Meaning:

A person who always makes excuses and blames others or circumstances for their mistakes often doesn't achieve much in life. For example, imagine a student who didn't study for their exam. If they say they failed because the teacher was unfair, instead of accepting they should have studied more, they are making excuses. Over time, this habit stops them from improving or achieving success because they never take responsibility. To do well in life, it's important to own up to your mistakes, learn from them, and make changes. So instead of making excuses, it's better to focus on finding solutions and working hard.
