Simplified Meaning:

When people stop believing they can achieve great things or reach their highest potential, they might end up not achieving much at all. Imagine a student who dreams of becoming a doctor. If she stops believing in her ability to succeed in medical school, she might give up studying and drop out. Without that dream pushing her, she could end up working in a job she doesn't enjoy or find fulfilling. This quote suggests that aiming high in life is important because it drives us to work hard and make the most of our talents. By having big goals, we strive to be better, but without any ambition, we risk settling for a life that doesn't use our full potential. This is true in many areas of life, whether it's your career, personal growth, or relationships. So, keeping your dreams alive and believing in your capability to reach them is crucial for living a meaningful and successful life.
