“Life is an egg you have to be patient and careful with ”

Langston Hughes

Simplified Meaning:

Handling life is like taking care of an egg; you need to be gentle and patient. Think about when you cook an egg carefully to avoid breaking it–life requires similar attention. You can't rush things or be reckless, just like you can't drop an egg without it breaking. If you're hasty or careless with your decisions and actions, you might end up facing problems, just like a broken egg can't be put back together. For example, building a friendship or a career takes time and effort. Just as you would handle an egg slowly and carefully, you need to nurture relationships and work prospects with patience and care. Rushing or being careless in these areas can lead to loss or failure. So, treat different aspects of your life with the same delicate attention, and you’re more likely to see them flourish without unintended consequences.
