"一品脱的汗水将节省一加仑的血液"
— George S. Patton
Simplified Meaning:
Working hard now can prevent bigger problems later. Imagine you are studying for a big test. If you spend a lot of time and effort studying (this is like the “pint of sweat”), you will understand the material better and perform well on the test. This means you won't feel stressed or risk failing (this is like saving the “gallon of blood”). In history, soldiers train intensely to prepare for battles. The tough training (sweat) helps them become strong and skilled, which protects them during real combat, reducing the chance of injury or death (blood). Similarly, if you practice driving carefully, you can avoid accidents. By putting in effort and preparation now, you can avoid larger issues or dangers in the future. It’s about the value of preparation and hard work to keep bigger troubles at bay.
