“Stop blaming other people. If you’ve got a problem, take responsibility. Don’t count the days, make the days count. I think it is better to risk starving to death than surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what’s left. If you give a room full of children a box of toys and then take that box away, they’ll do the same thing creators do. They’ll make their own toys and their own own joy. Remember, every failure is only redirection. We either give ourselves permission to be great, or we confirm ourselves to mediocrity.”

Simplified Meaning:
Take responsibility for your problems instead of blaming others. Make your days meaningful instead of just passing the time. It's better to take big risks than to give up. If you abandon your dreams, you lose what makes life special. Like kids who create their own fun when their toys are taken away, we should find joy and creativity in tough times. Failures are just chances to change direction. We can choose to be great or settle for being average.
