“Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great”
— John D. Rockefeller

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, you have to let go of something that is okay or comfortable if you want to achieve something truly amazing. Imagine you have a job that pays well and is stable, but you don't enjoy it. If you find a chance to chase your dream job, even though it might seem risky, leaving your current job could lead to greater happiness and success. Like an athlete who leaves a solid training routine to work with a top coach, even though it means starting over, aiming higher can bring greater rewards. It's about not being satisfied with what’s simply good when there’s the potential for something much better. Taking that leap can lead to bigger and better things, even if it feels scary at first.
