“We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate”
— Swami Vivekananda
Simplified Meaning:
Our actions lead to consequences that shape our future. Think about planting seeds in a garden: if you plant good seeds and take care of them, you will get healthy plants. If you neglect them or plant bad seeds, you won’t have anything good to harvest. This quote suggests that what we put into our lives - our efforts, choices, and attitudes - will determine what we get out of it. For instance, if you study hard and work diligently, you are likely to succeed in your career or education. Conversely, if you are lazy or make poor choices, your outcomes will reflect that. It’s a reminder that our destiny largely depends on our own actions and decisions.
