“You don't learn to hold your own in the world by standing on guard, but by attacking, and getting well hammered yourself.”
— George Bernard Shaw

Simplified Meaning:
To really succeed and grow strong, you need to actively face challenges, not just protect yourself from them. Let's say you're learning to ride a bike. If you only watch others ride or avoid trying because you're scared of falling, you'll never actually learn how to do it. But if you hop on the bike, you might fall and get a few bruises. Each time you get back up and try again, you become better and stronger. It's the same with life: by tackling tough problems and sometimes failing, you gain the skills and resilience you need. So, don't avoid challenges; face them head-on and learn from any setbacks. This will make you more capable and confident in the long run.
