A stone that rolls along the force of the water remains smooth free from any moss on it. On the other hand, a stone that remains stagnant at a place for a long time gathers moss on it.
A person may become successful if he follows a planned course of action from the beginning to the end. Too many changes in sphere of activity mean a lot of wastage of time and energy. Further, such person fails to gain experience in his previous pursuit.
It is true that a person who keeps travelling from one place to another remains free from any meaningful social responsibility. However, on the other hand, he doesn’t have a permanent place to which he can refer to as his place of residence.
A person who changes his sphere of activity, or quickly shift from one place to another, will have to start afresh each time. He will have to build up the new environment. He will have to work very hard to prove his abilities again. Now, after putting so much effort, if a person changes his occupation, then many of the efforts that he put in his previous pursuit would go to waste.
Some people are fearful of the initial difficulty of a new job. They avoid accepting responsibility of a task that demands sincerity, hard work and persistence. They give up the work in despair and turn to some other occupation or business. But, people can make very little progress if they continually shy away of such work that demands commitment. Such people waste immense time and energy on wasteful activities that have a bearing on their self-esteem and self-confidence. Consistence and commitment to a job brings success and prosperity in long run.

HEY ANSWER IS.......!!
A 'rolling stone gathers no moss' means that people who travel a lot do not accrue commitments.
The proverb means that a man who is constantly changing his vocation, who cannot stick to a particular job, will never win success. A stone is covered with green moss when it remains fixed at one spot; similarly, if a man remains steady at his job, he will soon be permanent and confirmed there and that is the way to success. For hereby he wins experience, knows his defects and shortcomings, tries to remove them and thus improve.
Success in life does not, come easily for the mere asking. It has to be won by the hard work and resolute application. The proverb, therefore, gives us a warning to the unstable character who loses heart easily and for want of fixity of purpose and devotion, changes his profession very often.
Rabindranath has said, "Let fresh obstacles come again and yet again: I will receive the blow and remain unmoved." For the acquisition of this virtue, one is to have a singleness of aim. Our life should be an organised effort to achieve a definite aim. A man who has no aim in life is always rolling from one job to another and he can never win his goal. It is necessary to be patient and persevering.
Failures, as the proverb says, are only pillars of success. Therefore, one must never feel discouraged by failures, but one should try and try again. This means one must preserve at one's job till success is achieved. Otherwise, one shall have to roll from pillar to post and post to pillar and move like a floating isle without striking any root. It is no use becoming a beautiful blossom that never opens into flower.
Of course, all this depends on two basic requirements. The first is to have a proper assessment of one's own power and mental preference. The choice of a job must not be made on a mere whim or a chance suggestion. It has to be made after a proper evaluation of one's capacity and resources. This is by no means an easy task. The second requirement is to have a certain degree of foresight. One must have a clear perspective of what is possible and what is not.
To be always changing one's position or one's job wins neither respect nor success. This naturally produces an adverse reaction.
But this should not lead one to think that the first choice is to be the last choice. A man learns by trial and error. So a wrong choice should not be adhered to when things are uncongenial. Dynamism or mobility is the hallmark of modem life. So Stephen Leocock suggests that if one finds a job or better scope and prospect, later on, one should avail oneself of that opportunity.
