"لا أعد تمارين الجلوس الخاصة بي؛ أنا فقط أبدأ بالعد عندما يبدأ الألم لأن تلك هي الوحيدة التي تحتسب."

Simplified Meaning:

When you start doing sit-ups, at first they feel easy, and you don't really notice much pain. As you keep going, they begin to hurt. The person is saying they only start counting their sit-ups once it gets painful because those are the ones that really matter. This idea can be applied to any challenge or hard work. For example, imagine you're studying for a tough exam. When you start, the early hours are easy, but as you get tired, the studying feels harder. The real progress happens when you push through that tiredness. The same goes for training in sports, learning a new skill, or working on a project. When things get tough, and you keep going, that's when you truly improve and make a difference. So, don't give up when it gets hard; that's when the most important work happens.
