"Celui qui adapte sa politique aux temps prospère, et de même celui dont la politique entre en conflit avec les exigences des temps ne prospère pas."
— Niccolo Machiavelli

Simplified Meaning:
Success comes to those who change their plans to fit what's happening around them. Think about how businesses that quickly started selling face masks during the pandemic did well because they adapted to the new need. On the other hand, companies that insisted on sticking to their old ways, like trying to sell luxury goods when people were tightening their belts, struggled. It's saying that being flexible and adjusting your actions to match the current situation helps you succeed. If someone refuses to change and keeps doing what’s no longer helpful, they will find it hard to thrive. This teaches us to be observant and ready to make necessary changes in our lives, jobs, or personal plans to keep up with the world.
