“It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him”
— J.R.R. Tolkien

Simplified Meaning:
If you live near a dangerous animal like a dragon, you must always remember it exists and plan for it. Pretend you live near a busy road. You need to be careful when crossing the street. Ignoring the traffic could lead to an accident. Similarly, in life, if there’s a big problem or risk, you shouldn’t forget about it. For example, if you're working on a group project and you know one team member never does their part, you should plan for this and make sure everyone else is ready to cover their tasks. By thinking about risks ahead of time, you can avoid trouble and stay safe.
