Anybody know what "You take 10 times, and give once" means? I tried googling it because i sounds like a proverb but I got nothing in return. (its said on pg 84-85)

edit:
ok i read the next page it i get it now, I just thought it was a common proverb in the original language but its just a thing the author thought of
