Necessity is the mother of taking chances

Summary

This quote suggests that when faced with difficult circumstances or urgent situations, people are more willing to take risks and try new or unconventional approaches in order to find a solution.

It highlights how necessity can serve as a catalyst for bold actions and the pursuit of innovative solutions, ultimately leading to growth and progress.
