ELI5: Nietzche's philosophy

Specifically, what his stance on suffering is, please?

I know this is kind of a weird request, so thanks to anyone who wants to answer!

There is a direct correlation between suffering and joy. If you're not willing to experience and grow though a lot of suffering, you won't experience as much joy. If you always try to diminish displeasure and suffering in your life, you're also going to diminish your capacity for joy. 

"[N]o one is able to produce a great work of art without experience, nor achieve a worldly position immediately, nor be a great lover at the first attempt; and in the interval between initial failure and subsequent success, in the gap between who we wish one day to be and who we are at present, must come pain, anxiety, envy and humiliation. We suffer because we cannot spontaneously master the ingredients of fulfillment."
