Simplified Meaning:

Relying on others to lead the way may leave you confused and without direction. Imagine trying to find your way through a forest. If you always wait for someone else to show you the path, you might end up going in circles if they get lost too. Taking responsibility for your own choices is important because you understand your goals best. For example, if you want to learn a new skill, waiting for someone to teach you might take a long time. Instead, you can read books, watch tutorials, or practice on your own, progressing much faster. This advice encourages people to be proactive and take charge of their own journeys, instead of depending solely on others.
