This quote suggests that taking risks is necessary to achieve success or gain something valuable. However, it also emphasizes the importance of knowing when to give up and redirect one's efforts elsewhere if repeated attempts yield no results. It implies the need for a balanced approach, where one is willing to take chances, but also discerning enough to recognize when persistence is no longer beneficial and it's time to explore new opportunities.

I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its tone is mellower, its colours are richer, and it is tinged with a little sorrow.
