Simplified Meaning:
People become who they are because of what they do and the choices they make. For example, if someone spends a lot of time practicing a skill, like playing the guitar, they will become good at it. In contrast, if someone doesn't try or work hard, they won't achieve much. Just like a student who studies and does their homework learns and gets good grades, while one who skips studying struggles. This idea shows that our actions shape our lives and identity. So, if you want to be successful or happy, put effort and care into what you do every day.
