"我们更多的时候是被吓到而不是受伤。"

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:

People tend to be scared more often than they get actually harmed. Imagine you have an important exam coming up. You might worry for weeks, thinking about all the things that could go wrong. You fear failing, feeling embarrassed, or disappointing your family. But when the day of the exam arrives, it usually isn't as bad as you thought. You might even do well. This shows that our minds can sometimes make things seem worse than they really are. We get stressed and anxious, but the actual event is often not dangerous or painful. Understanding this can help us stress less and face challenges more confidently. Instead of letting fear control us, we can focus on preparing and doing our best. This way, we use our energy in a productive manner rather than wasting it on fear.
