It means that only those who have been silent for a long time, those who have been drifting like clouds for a long time, can finally shock the world and finally ignite lightning.

that is, there must be a long process of self-accumulation before achieving great things. From the philosopher and thinker Nietzsche.

Extended information:

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, a German, a famous philosopher, linguist, cultural critic, poet, composer and thinker, is regarded as the pioneer of modern western philosophy. His works have made extensive criticisms and discussions on religion, morality, modern culture, philosophy and science. His writing style is unique, and he often uses aphorisms and paradoxes. Nietzsche had a great influence on the development of later generations' philosophy, especially on existentialism and postmodernism.

For Nietzsche, philosophical thinking is life, and life is philosophical thinking. He founded a strange philosophy with different forms and showed his philosophical thoughts. His philosophy needs no reasoning and argumentation, and has no systematic framework. It is not a theoretical system at all, but his direct perception of the pain and joy of life.

Nietzsche, in his first academic work, The Birth of Tragedy, began to criticize modern civilization. He pointed out that in capitalist society, despite the increasing material wealth, people have not been truly free and happy. The rigid mechanical model suppresses people's personality, which makes people lose the passion of free thinking and the impulse to create culture. Modern culture appears so decadent, which is the disease of modern civilization, and its root is the atrophy of life instinct.
