Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes when we face challenges, people can react in three different ways. One person might just grumble and be upset about the problem, not looking for a solution. Another person might hope things will get better on their own without taking action. The third person accepts the situation and makes changes to improve things. Imagine you are on a boat and the wind is strong. The first person might complain about the bad weather, the second might wait and hope the wind will die down, while the third person would change the boat’s direction by adjusting the sails. This third approach is the most practical because it deals directly with the problem. In your daily life, when things go wrong, like failing a test or losing a job, don't just complain or wait for things to get better. Instead, think about how you can adapt and make changes to improve the situation. For example, if you didn’t do well in a test, a practical step would be to study differently or ask for help, rather than just feeling bad or hoping for an easier test next time.
