Simplified Meaning:

When you're trying to achieve something great, there are often many chances to stop and take it easy, which can keep you from reaching your goal. Imagine you're driving on a long trip to a beautiful place. Along the way, you see many rest stops where you can take a break. These stops look nice and comfortable, but if you spend too much time there, you'll never get to your final destination. In life, this might look like wanting to get a college degree. You might be tempted to relax more, hang out with friends all the time, or watch another episode of your favorite show instead of studying. These activities are fun and it's easy to put off your work for them, but they slow you down from achieving your goal of graduating. To succeed, it's important to stay focused and keep moving, even when it's tempting to stop for a while. This means sometimes you have to miss out on smaller, more immediate pleasures to achieve your bigger dreams. By keeping your eye on the final goal and not getting too comfortable with breaks, you'll have a better chance of reaching your success.
