"La sociedad siempre debe exigir un poco más de los seres humanos de lo que obtendrá en la práctica"
— George Orwell
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you are in a sports team where the coach always expects everyone to give their best effort, even more than what they normally do during practice. The coach knows that if they set high standards and ask for a bit extra, the team will perform better overall, even if they don't always meet those high standards perfectly. In everyday life, society tends to do the same thing. It sets high expectations for how people should behave, work, and treat each other. This helps people aim higher and try harder. For example, think about recycling. Society encourages everyone to recycle everything they can to protect the environment. Not everyone will do it perfectly, but by setting the expectation high, it increases the overall effort and impact. In your own life, you can apply this by setting personal goals that push you a little beyond your comfort zone. Whether it's studying a bit more, being kinder, or working a bit harder, setting high standards can help you achieve more than you initially think you can. Even if you don’t always reach these goals, the effort helps you grow and improve.
