“The man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic—the man who actually does the work even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done.”
— Theodore Roosevelt

Simplified Meaning:
Actions speak louder than words. People who actually do the work and put in effort, even if it's not perfect, are the ones who make a difference. For example, think of someone who started a small business. They might not have everything perfect from the start, but they learn and improve along the way. On the other hand, someone who only talks about how they would do it better doesn’t help the business grow. It's easy to criticize and point out flaws, but it takes real courage and dedication to take action. In your life, focus on doing your best and making progress, rather than just planning or discussing ideas without doing anything.
