“Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it, so it goes on flying anyway.”
— Mary Kay Ash
Simplified Meaning:
The quote points out a curious fact about bumble bees. According to the laws of physics and aerodynamics, their body size and wing shape make it seem like they shouldn't be able to fly. However, bumble bees fly just fine because they don't know or care about these scientific principles. They just do what they need to do. In simpler terms, the quote is teaching us that sometimes we do things that seem impossible or very difficult, simply because we don't overthink them. Think about a small child learning to walk; the child doesn’t know how difficult it is supposed to be. They just keep trying and eventually succeed. This lesson can help us in our own lives. If you believe too much in the limitations people or society place on you, you might give up easily. But if you ignore the doubts and just try your best, you might surprise yourself with what you can do. Just keep going like the bumble bee, without worrying about what seems impossible.
