“It is not enough to want, one has to act.”
— Jean Paul Sartre
Simplified Meaning:
Wanting something on its own is not enough to make it happen; you have to take action. Imagine a student who dreams of getting good grades. Simply wishing for A's won't make it happen. The student needs to study, do homework, and attend classes. Thinking about what you want is like planning a garden. If you don't plant the seeds and water them, no flowers will grow. By taking action, you turn your dreams and wishes into reality. So, don't just think about what you want—do something to make it happen.
