"أكبر خطر يواجهنا معظمنا ليس أن نضع أهدافنا عالية جدًا فنخفق في تحقيقها، بل أن نضعها منخفضة جدًا فننجح في بلوغها."

Simplified Meaning:

Often, people don't set big enough goals because they fear failure. It's not that aiming high and missing is the biggest problem; it's more of a problem when our goals are too easy, and we achieve them without pushing ourselves. For example, imagine a student who is very smart but only aims to get barely passing grades. They meet this low goal, but they never discover their true potential or what they could achieve if they tried harder. If they had aimed higher, even if they didn't reach the highest goal, they might have learned more, grown more, and achieved great things. This idea encourages us to set ambitious goals, so we stretch our abilities and accomplish more than we ever thought possible. By doing this, we challenge ourselves, learn, and grow, which makes our lives more fulfilling and exciting.
