“As a rule, men worry more about what they can’t see than about what they can”
— Julius Caesar

Simplified Meaning:
People often feel more anxious about things they don't know or understand compared to things they can see and deal with directly. For example, when you hear a strange noise in your house at night, you might get very scared because you don’t know what it is. But, if you saw that the noise was just a branch hitting the window, you would feel relieved because you know the cause and it's not dangerous. This idea can be applied to many areas of life, like starting a new job. If you worry about all the unknowns, like how your coworkers will be or if you can do the work well, it can make you feel very stressed. Instead, focusing on what you can control and what you know for sure can help reduce worry and make things feel easier to handle.
