“The most unprofitable item ever manufactured is an excuse”
— H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Simplified Meaning:
Making excuses is seen as one of the least useful things you can do. When you come up with excuses, you're not solving any problems or making progress. Think about a student who fails a test and then blames the teacher, the noisy classroom, or their friends for distracting them. Instead of finding a way to improve, they just waste time and energy. If they spent that energy on studying or asking for help, they could do much better next time. So, putting effort into excuses brings you nothing and only holds you back. It's more productive to face your mistakes and look for ways to improve.
