"靠希望生活的人会饿死。"
— Benjamin Franklin
Simplified Meaning:
When you rely only on hope without taking any action, you will end up with nothing. Imagine you are really hungry and you just sit there wishing for food instead of getting up to find something to eat or cook a meal. If you keep waiting and hoping food will magically appear, you will stay hungry forever. In real life, people need to work towards their goals instead of just wishing for things to happen. For example, a student who hopes to get good grades but never studies will likely fail. To achieve anything, you must take practical steps and actively work towards your objectives.
