“In the societal arena, one who has skills and use them intelligently is more likely to be chosen than one who has none and can envision none.”

Simplified Meaning:

People with skills who know how to use them well are more likely to get chosen for opportunities or jobs than those who don't have any skills and can't see a way to get any. Imagine a company looking for someone to fill a position. They will prefer to hire someone who knows how to do the tasks required and can prove they can handle the job. This is like picking a mechanic who can actually fix a car over someone who can't even figure out where the engine is. In everyday life, if you can do something well, like baking, playing an instrument, or speaking another language, and you show that you can use these talents effectively, you will stand out more. Even in a group of friends, the person who can organize a party, solve a problem, or tell a great story usually gets more attention and opportunities. To apply this idea, focus on learning and improving skills you enjoy or are good at, and make sure people know what you can do. By doing this, you're more likely to be chosen for new chances and exciting roles in different areas of life.
