“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it”
— Douglas MacArthur

Simplified Meaning:
If you go into a fight or struggle, you must truly want to win, or you are likely to lose. Imagine a sports team playing a big game. If the players don't believe they can win or aren't trying their best, they will probably lose the game. The same idea applies to serious situations like wars. During World War II, countries that were fully committed had a better chance of success because they used all their resources and energy to win. In your life, this means that if you start something important, like a new job or a difficult project, you need to give it your all. Entering a challenge half-heartedly makes it more likely that you won't succeed.
