“The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.”

Elbert Hubbard

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes it's hard to tell if we are failing or succeeding because the difference can be very small. Imagine a student who is preparing for an important exam. They might feel like they aren't doing well, but actually, all their hard work and late nights of studying are helping them improve bit by bit. They might be just one more practice test away from passing, but they can't see it yet. This shows that success often comes down to small, consistent efforts that build up over time, even if we don't notice these little steps. You could be much closer to achieving your goals than you think, even if it feels like you're not making progress. So, it’s important to keep going and not give up too soon, because you might not realize that you are already very close to success. By staying focused and persistent, you can cross that thin line and reach the success you're aiming for.
