Summary

This quote suggests that even the smallest individuals have the power to create an impact. Comparing oneself to a mosquito, a tiny creature, highlights the idea that size or perceived insignificance should not be a deterrent to taking action. It encourages individuals to realize their potential and challenge the notion that their influence is limited. Just as a mosquito's presence can disrupt someone's sleep, this quote prompts individuals to recognize the influence they can have on others or a situation, regardless of their size or position.
