"Cuando tu ejército haya cruzado la frontera, debes quemar tus barcos y puentes, para dejar claro a todos que no tienes anhelo de volver a casa."
— Sun Tzu

Simplified Meaning:
When you decide to start something big and important, you should get rid of any way to go back to your old life. This makes sure everyone understands you're serious about moving forward. Imagine you're unhappy with your job back home and dream of starting a business in a new city. If you sell your house and give up your job, you can't easily return. This forces you to give your new business everything you've got because there's no easy way back. Others will see you're committed and support you more because they know you won’t quit. By making sure there's no turning back, you stay focused and work harder to succeed.
