Summary

This quote suggests that the fear of wasting one's strength is what ultimately weakens individuals the most. It implies that people tend to hold back and avoid exerting their full potential due to the concern that their efforts may be futile or go unrecognized. This fear prevents them from taking risks or pursuing challenging opportunities, ultimately limiting their growth and potential achievements. By overcoming this fear and embracing the possibility of failure, individuals can liberate themselves from weakness and make full use of their strengths.
