Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of thorough planning and preparation in order to achieve success. Just like designing a magnificent roof requires a sturdy foundation and structure, the same principle applies to any idea or project.

Without a solid framework, even the most brilliant ideas may struggle to take off.
