"Es fácil sentarse y prestar atención, lo difícil es levantarse y actuar."

Honore de Balzac

Simplified Meaning:

Noticing opportunities or problems around us is the easy part because it doesn't require much effort. However, the real challenge comes when we need to actually do something about them. For instance, many people may realize that the environment is suffering and that pollution is a big issue. It's simple to agree and talk about how bad it is, but taking steps to reduce waste, recycle, or volunteer for clean-up actions is much harder because it requires time and effort. The message here is that real change happens when we move beyond just acknowledging problems and start working to solve them. If a person wants to make a difference, they need to be proactive and take steps, even small ones, towards making a positive change. For example, if someone notices their neighborhood is getting dirtier, they can organize a community clean-up day instead of just complaining about it. Taking action leads to real results and improvements.
