“He that lives upon hope will die fasting.”
— Benjamin Franklin

Simplified Meaning:
Relying only on hope without taking action can leave you with nothing. Imagine someone who dreams of becoming a doctor but never studies or goes to school. Just hoping to get there won't work; they need to study hard and attend classes. In history, many inventions were made not just by hoping, but by working and experimenting. If you want to achieve something, you have to put in the effort. Waiting around for things to get better on their own won't help you succeed. So, it's important to combine hope with action to make your dreams come true.
