“Success consists in being successful, not in having potential for success. Any wide piece of ground is the potential site of a palace, but there's no palace until it's built.”
— Fernando Pessoa

Simplified Meaning:
Achieving something great isn't about having the potential to do it, it's about actually doing it. Just like a big, empty piece of land can be the perfect spot for a grand building, it won't become a palace until someone puts in the work to construct it. For instance, a student might be incredibly smart and have all the abilities needed to get good grades. But if they don't study or do their homework, their potential won't turn into real success. This means that having the ability or possibility is just the first step; what truly matters is taking action and making things happen. So, if you want to be successful, focus on working hard and achieving your goals, not just thinking about what you could do.
