“One may know how to conquer without being able to do it.”
— Sun Tzu
Simplified Meaning:
Knowing how to succeed and actually succeeding are two different things. For example, a person may know all the rules and strategies of a game like chess but still find it difficult to win against a skilled opponent. They have the knowledge but struggle to put it into practice. This is similar to someone who understands what it takes to be a good public speaker – like using the right words, speaking clearly, and engaging with the audience – but when it’s their turn to speak, they get nervous and forget what they wanted to say. It's important to practice and build confidence in order to turn knowledge into action. So, if you know what you need to do but find it hard to actually do it, keep practicing and trying. Over time, you'll get better at turning your understanding into real, successful actions.
