Simplified Meaning:
When something is working fine, there's no need to mess with it. Imagine you have a car that runs smoothly and gets you where you need to go without any problems. You wouldn't take it apart just to see if you can make it better, because you might accidentally make it worse. This idea can apply to many parts of life. For example, if a process at work helps you get your tasks done efficiently, there's no need to change it just for the sake of change. By leaving things that work well alone, we can save time, avoid unnecessary complications, and focus our energy on things that actually need attention.
