“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.”
— William Arthur Ward
Simplified Meaning:
Different people react to problems in different ways: one person might just complain about the situation, another might hope it gets better by itself, but a practical person will take action to find a solution.
