Simplified Meaning:
Working hard now can prevent bigger problems later on. This idea means that putting in effort and preparation ahead of time can help avoid much more serious issues down the road. For example, think about a student preparing for a big exam. If they study a little bit every day (the 'sweat'), they are more likely to do well on the test and avoid failing (the 'blood'). This same idea can apply to other areas of life, such as fixing small problems in your car before they turn into expensive repairs, or staying fit and healthy to avoid illnesses. The goal is to remind people that while it might seem tough to work hard initially, it can save them from a lot of trouble and difficulty in the future.
