Half the failures in life arise from pulling in one's horse

Summary

This quote suggests that many failures in life occur when one hesitates or tries to stop something in motion. When a horse is leaping, it is important to let it continue its movement without disrupting its rhythm. Similarly, in life, opportunities and challenges often require boldness, perseverance, and a willingness to take risks. However, if one becomes overly cautious or hesitant, they might miss out on potential successes or fail to fully commit to their endeavors, resulting in missed opportunities and failures.
