“A rooster crows only when it sees the light. Put him in the dark and he'll never crow. I have seen the light and I’m crowing.”

Muhammad Ali

Simplified Meaning:

A rooster only makes noise when the sun comes up because it needs to see the light to know it's morning. If you keep the rooster in a dark place, it won't know when to crow because there's no light. This is like a person who has learned something important or discovered the truth. Once they understand something clearly, they want to share it with others. Imagine a scientist who discovers a cure for a disease; they are excited and want to tell everyone because they have found something valuable. In life, when you learn or realize something significant, it’s natural to want to share that knowledge and help others see it too.
