“To be everywhere is to be nowhere.”
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Simplified Meaning:
When you try to do too many things at once, you end up not doing any of them well. Imagine you have ten different tasks to complete in one day. If you spend a small amount of time on each task, you probably won't finish any of them properly. But if you focus on just one or two tasks, you can do a much better job. Think about a student who wants to play sports, learn a musical instrument, join a drama club, and also get good grades. If they try to do all these things without prioritizing, they might feel overwhelmed and exhausted. They might not excel at any of these activities because they are spreading their energy too thin. However, if they pick just a couple of activities to focus on, they can really improve and enjoy those pursuits. So, the key idea is to concentrate on fewer things and give them your best effort. This way, you achieve more and feel more satisfied with your accomplishments.
