“If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road I don’t want them I want men who will come if there is no road at all”

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine you need help building a playground for kids in your neighborhood. Some people are willing to help only if you tell them there’s an easy way to do it, like using fancy machines or having everything planned out perfectly. But what you actually need are friends who are ready to roll up their sleeves and figure things out even if you don’t have all the answers or the best tools. These are the friends who will be there no matter how hard it gets, and they’ll help you find a way to make it work. Similarly, the quote is saying that the best kind of people are those who are ready to face challenges and uncertainties head-on. It’s like having a friend who helps you fix your car even when neither of you know exactly how, but you work together and eventually solve the problem. In life, we should look for and appreciate those who are willing to stand by us and overcome difficulties without needing everything to be perfectly set up and easy. These are the people who make real progress possible, and they teach us that determination and willingness to face tough situations are more valuable than relying on everything being perfect.
