“When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.”

George Bernard Shaw

Simplified Meaning:

When the person was young, most of their efforts didn't meet with success. Instead of giving up, they decided to work much harder. Imagine a student who is struggling with math. They fail nine out of ten tests. Realizing this, they choose to study ten times more than before. Finally, they start passing their tests because of the extra effort they put in. The main idea here is not to get discouraged by failure. If something you do doesn't work out, try doing it more often and improving each time. Persistence and hard work can eventually lead to success. This approach can be applied to many areas like learning a new skill, business, or personal goals. It shows that continuous effort and dedication, despite initial failures, can lead to better results in the end.
