Simplified Meaning:

This quote means that it's important to hold firmly to your big goals and dreams, but be willing to change the smaller steps along the way. Imagine you are building a house. You are very sure about what kind of house you want – maybe a cozy cottage with a beautiful garden. That’s your big vision. However, as you start building, you might find that certain materials are not available, or the weather causes delays. In these situations, instead of giving up, you adapt. Maybe you use different materials or change the schedule, but you still keep working towards building that same cozy cottage. This flexible approach helps you overcome problems without losing sight of what you want in the end. In life, you can use this by being clear about your main goals, like getting a degree or starting a business. Along the way, be open to different ways of getting there, such as taking different courses or learning new skills. This method keeps you focused but adaptable, making it easier to reach your dreams even when things don’t go as planned.
