A tub holds water, which is quite heavy. The fact that a tub must stand on its own bottom is just another way of saying it is supporting its weight or carrying its own load.

It means that every person at some point has to be independent and take care of themselves. No one else can do it for you all the time.

You have to stand on your own two feet. Represent yourself.
