This quote illustrates the importance of taking risks and embracing uncertainties in order to achieve success. It suggests that one cannot achieve anything meaningful if they constantly wait for all possible dangers to be eliminated before taking action. To make progress, one must be willing to face adversity and navigate through challenging situations, just like a sailor must embark on a voyage despite the inherent risks associated with the sea. Ultimately, it urges individuals to have courage, resilience, and the willingness to step out of their comfort zones, recognizing that growth often lies beyond the realm of safety.
