“Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well”

Robert Louis Stevenson

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes in life, we don't always get the best opportunities or resources. Think of it like playing a card game where you may not have the best cards; you can still win the game if you use what you have smartly. For example, let's say you wanted to start a business but you don't have much money or many connections. Instead of feeling discouraged, you could focus on ways to work with what you have. Maybe you could start small, like setting up a stall at a local market, and gradually build up from there. Over time, your hard work and clever thinking will help you succeed. This idea means that you don't need perfect conditions or the best advantages to do well in life. What really matters is how you make the best of what you have. By being resourceful, determined, and adaptable, anyone can overcome challenges and succeed despite not starting out with the best "cards."
