"现实不符合理想，但证实了理想。"
— Gustave Flaubert

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, what we dream or hope for doesn't exactly match what actually happens. However, the gap between our dreams and reality can show us important truths. Imagine someone dreams of being a famous musician, but they don't quite make it to stardom. They still learn a lot about music, meet wonderful people, and play for many small, appreciative audiences. Their reality didn't match the ideal of fame, but it confirmed their love for music and the joy it brings. This shows that reality may not give us our ideal dreams, but it can reveal what truly matters along the way. When we aim for something big and fall short, we often discover the genuine value in our efforts and the journey.
