Simplified Meaning:
When you put in almost all your effort but not quite everything, it’s nearly the same as not trying at all. Imagine a student who studies hard all year but doesn’t show up for the final exam; all their work doesn’t count because they didn’t complete the final step. This saying tells us to go all in and finish what we start. If you’re going to work at something, give it your full effort, right up to 100%. If you only plan to give 99% and not truly finish, it's better not to start at all. This idea can help you in many situations like work, school, or even personal goals. Finishing strong is often the difference between success and failure.
