“If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.”
— Thomas Edison
Simplified Meaning:
People often don't realize how much they can achieve because they doubt themselves or don't try hard enough. Think of someone who always dreamed of running a marathon but never believed they could do it. One day, they decide to really train and go for it. After months of hard work, they finally run the marathon and finish it. This person might feel shocked and proud because they did something they didn't think was possible. The quote suggests that everyone has hidden potential, and if we push ourselves to do what we are capable of, we can surprise even ourselves with what we can achieve. In daily life, this could mean taking on a challenging project at work, learning a new skill, or pursuing a personal goal. Believing in yourself and putting in the effort can lead to amazing results.
