“Don't go around saying the world owes you a living”
— Mark Twain
Copied to clipboard
Simplified Meaning:
Thinking that the world owes you something can lead to disappointment. Just because you are alive doesn't mean everything will be handed to you without working for it. Imagine you want a good job. If you don't put effort into improving your skills or searching for opportunities, you won't get that job. Another example is a student who wants good grades but doesn’t study. They can't expect good results without putting in the effort. To be successful or happy, you need to work hard and take responsibility for your actions. By actively pursuing your goals and not waiting for things to come to you, you can create a more fulfilling life.
