About this Quote

On the other hand, when we are too comfy and do not press ourselves, we will be forced to endure tough labor. This is because when we are idle, we do not benefit from the chances that come our method. We do not strive to reach our goals and rather end up being complacent. On the other hand, when we are too comfortable, we become lazy and do not put in the effort required to attain our goals. This results in us needing to work harder in the future to make up for our lack of effort. Franklin's quote is a suggestion that effort is needed for success which we must aim to maximize our opportunities.
