“Changes and progress very rarely are gifts from above. They come out of struggles from below.”
— Noam Chomsky
Simplified Meaning:
When people want to see improvements or new ideas in their lives or in society, it usually doesn't just happen by luck or from powerful people giving it to them. Instead, real change often comes from regular people working really hard, facing challenges, and pushing for better conditions. For instance, if you look at history, the civil rights movement in the United States didn't happen because the government decided to be nice; it happened because countless people protested, fought, and made their voices heard. When workers fight for better wages and working conditions, it's their effort and unity that bring the change, not just a gift from their bosses. This means if you want to make things better in your life, start small. Work hard, be determined, and don’t be afraid to face difficulties. Big changes come from the bottom up, from the efforts and dreams of everyday people.
