"祈るだけでなく努力しなければ、祈りが聞かれることを期待するのは無駄です。"
— Aesop
Simplified Meaning:
If we want our prayers or wishes to come true, we need to act on them, not just hope for the best. For example, imagine you really want to pass an important exam. Simply praying to pass won't help unless you also study hard. It's like asking for rain but not planting seeds – even if the rain comes, nothing will grow without your effort. Throughout history, successful people didn’t just wish for success; they worked hard for it. For instance, Thomas Edison didn't just dream about creating the light bulb; he experimented thousands of times until he succeeded. To apply this to your life, think about what you want to achieve and make a plan. Then, actively work towards your goal. Whether it’s learning a new skill, improving your health, or finding a job, combining your prayers or wishes with determined effort increases your chances of success.
