Simplified Meaning:
It's amazing how just a small number of people can control large groups. Think about a classroom with one teacher and many students. The teacher sets the rules and everyone follows them, even though the students outnumber the teacher. This happens in governments too, where a few leaders make decisions for millions of people. It's surprising how easily people accept being led. To apply this idea, remember that leaders have a lot of power because people trust and follow them. If you want to make a difference, know that even a small group can have a big influence if they are organized and persuasive.
