"Vous ne pouvez pas traverser la mer simplement en restant debout et en regardant l'eau"

Simplified Meaning:

If you want to get things done, you can't just think about them without taking action. Imagine you need to swim across a lake to get to the other side. Standing on the shore and looking at the water won't get you to the other side. You have to jump in and start swimming. This idea can be applied to many parts of life. For example, if you have a big project at work, just thinking about it won't finish it for you. You need to start working on it step by step. If you want to learn a new skill, like playing the guitar, you can't become good by just watching others play. You need to practice playing yourself. In simple terms, dreaming and planning are not enough. You must take real actions to achieve your goals.
