Simplified Meaning:
Working hard and preparing well when things are calm and peaceful reduces the difficulty and danger you'll face when times get tough. Imagine a student who studies a little bit every day instead of cramming the night before a big exam. By spreading out their effort and studying gradually, they are more likely to do well on the test without stress. Similarly, soldiers practice and train a lot during peace so that if they ever have to fight, they are ready and can protect themselves better. This idea can apply to many areas of life, like practicing for a sport, learning new skills for a job, or saving money for emergencies. The key takeaway is that consistent effort and preparation now can save you from bigger troubles in the future.
