Simplified Meaning:

When someone tries to be good at too many things, they can end up not being really good at any one thing. Imagine planting a garden but spreading the seeds too thinly over a large area; none of the plants would grow strong because they wouldn't get enough resources. Similarly, if a person spreads their time and energy over too many activities or skills, they won't excel at any of them. It’s like trying to play lots of different sports at once - soccer, basketball, tennis - you might not become great at any of them because you’re not focusing on just one. To apply this idea, it's important to pick a few things that you enjoy or are important to you and dedicate yourself to those. By focusing your efforts, you can become truly skilled and achieve more satisfaction and success.
