"La libertad no se mendiga se gana con la punta de una espada"

Emiliano Zapata

Simplified Meaning:

True freedom isn't something you ask for politely; it’s something you often have to fight for. For instance, think about the American Revolution. The colonists didn't just ask King George nicely if they could be free and then wait for an answer. They had to go to war, make sacrifices, and stand up against British control to gain their freedom. Similarly, in our own lives, if we want something important like a promotion at work or fairness in a situation, we usually have to put in the hard work and effort. It's not enough to just hope for it or ask once; you have to be determined and sometimes even fight for what you deserve. The core idea is that significant achievements and freedoms often come from persistence, struggle, and a strong will, not from simply asking or waiting.
