“We cannot deny the facts of nature, but we should certainly try to improve on them”
— Mihaly Csíkszentmihalyi

Simplified Meaning:
Nature sets certain rules and facts that we can't change, like how plants need sunlight to grow or how gravity makes things fall to the ground. However, just because these rules exist doesn't mean we can't find ways to make things better. For instance, farmers know they need rain for crops, but they have created irrigation systems to water plants even when it’s not raining. Similarly, people use technology to build houses that stay warm even in cold weather. The idea is to take what nature gives us and improve our lives by finding smart solutions. So, when faced with a natural limitation, instead of just accepting it, think about how you might work around it to create something better.
