Simplified Meaning:
To make a gemstone like a diamond look beautiful and shiny, it needs to be rubbed and polished. This process is tough and uncomfortable for the stone, but it is necessary to reveal its true beauty. Similarly, in life, people need to face challenges and difficult times to grow and improve themselves. For example, someone who practices playing a musical instrument might struggle at first, but with time and effort, they become a great musician. This quote suggests that overcoming difficulties can help us become better and stronger. So, when facing problems, remember that these experiences can bring out the best in us, just like the polishing process brings out the shine in a gem.
