William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:

People often understand who they are now, like their strengths, weaknesses, and personality traits. However, they can't always predict what they might become in the future because life is full of unexpected changes and opportunities. For example, a student might know they are good at writing now but has no idea they might become a famous author one day. Our future selves can be shaped by new experiences, learning opportunities, and changes in our environment that we can't foresee. Embracing this uncertainty can be exciting because it means there's always potential for growth and improvement. By staying open to new possibilities and not limiting ourselves to our current identity, we give ourselves the best chance to reach our full potential.
