Simplified Meaning:
Achieving real success often means avoiding very risky situations. Think about a tightrope walker high above the ground. If they take unnecessary risks, like trying to perform complicated tricks without proper preparation, they might fall. In life, success is similar. Smart business owners, for example, don't invest all their money in a single high-risk venture. Instead, they carefully choose safer, more calculated opportunities to grow their wealth steadily, avoiding the chance of losing it all at once. By navigating away from extreme dangers, we make better choices that lead to stable and lasting achievements. So, to succeed, it's wise to recognize which risks are too dangerous and to find safer paths that bring you closer to your goals.
