Simplified Meaning:

People who achieve great things often choose to wait for rewards. They make sacrifices now to gain benefits later. For example, a student might study hard instead of going to a party. This way, they can get good grades and a better job in the future. These individuals understand that giving up a little happiness now can lead to a lot more happiness down the road. By thinking ahead and planning for the future, they set themselves up for more success. This approach can help anyone improve their life by making wise choices today for a better tomorrow.
