Simplified Meaning:

Success often comes not from how rich, smart, or talented you are, but from your determination and persistence. Imagine a student who isn’t the top of their class and doesn’t find subjects easy. However, this student works hard every day, stays after school for extra help, and keeps studying even when the results don’t come quickly. Over time, their grades improve, and they achieve their goals, not because they were the best, but because they didn’t give up. In history, Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, failed thousands of times before he succeeded. He wasn’t the most intelligent or talented, but his relentless effort led to one of the most important inventions. Similarly, if you face challenges or setbacks in life, keep pushing forward. Your continuous effort and resilience will often lead you to success, even more than any natural ability or initial advantage. This approach emphasizes that dedication and perseverance are key ingredients for achieving your dreams.
