“There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard. There are not more than five primary colours, yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever been seen. There are not”
— Sun Tzu

Simplified Meaning:
Even though there are only five main musical notes, you can mix them in countless ways to create endless new songs. Just like this, there are five basic colors, but when you blend them, you get an infinite number of different shades and colors. Think about how a painter uses just a few colors from their palette to create a beautiful, detailed picture. In life, this idea teaches us that even with limited resources or simple tools, we can create many diverse and wonderful things. It's about how you use what you have that matters. So, if you ever feel like you don't have enough to work with or that things are too simple, remember that creativity and how you combine things can unlock limitless possibilities.
