“You can't cross the sea merely by standing”

Rabindranath Tagore

Simplified Meaning:

If you want to achieve something big, like reaching a distant place, you have to take action. Just thinking about your goal or dreaming of it won't make it happen. Imagine you want to travel to another country. You won't get there by just standing still at the shore and looking at the sea. You need to make plans, pack your bags, and get on a boat or a plane. Similarly, if you have a big goal, like starting a business or learning a new skill, you must take steps to work on it. Make a plan, take small actions every day, and keep moving forward, even if it feels hard. This advice encourages people to be proactive and work towards their dreams actively.
