Simplified Meaning:

This quote means that smart and courageous people don't just sit back and do nothing while waiting for the future to come and potentially harm them. Instead, they take action to shape their future and avoid negative consequences. Think about someone who wants to lose weight. If they just sit around hoping they'll get healthier without changing their diet or exercising, they're like the person lying on the train tracks. But if they start eating better and working out, they’re taking control of their future. In another example, if a student knows they have a big exam coming up, they shouldn't just ignore their studies and hope to pass. By studying and preparing, they’re making sure they won’t fail. This quote teaches us to be proactive and not just wait around, hoping for the best. Being active and planning ahead helps prevent future problems and creates better outcomes.
