Summary

This quote suggests that being gentle does not necessarily lead to achieving tasks or accomplishing goals. It implies that being too gentle or delicate in one's approach may not be efficient or effective in getting things done, except in the case of a hen obviously laying eggs, which is their natural behavior. In other contexts, being too gentle can be seen as passive or ineffective in achieving desired outcomes. Thus, it highlights the importance of being assertive, proactive, and taking action to accomplish tasks, rather than solely relying on gentleness.
