Simplified Meaning:
Coming up with new ideas and creating things takes a lot of patience and courage. When you work on something you truly believe in, not everyone will understand or support you right away. Imagine you are an artist creating a new style of painting. Your friends and family might not get it and could even tell you that it's not a good idea. Even if they mean well and want to protect you from failure, their criticism can be discouraging. However, if you stick with your vision and keep working hard despite the doubts, you could end up creating something incredible, just like many famous inventors and artists have done. For example, when the Wright brothers were building the first airplane, many people thought they were wasting their time, but they kept going and eventually changed the world. So, if you believe in what you're doing, don't let others' doubts stop you; keep going and be patient.
