You canâ€™t succeed coming to the potluck with only a fork.

Summary

This quote implies that one cannot achieve success by merely offering minimal effort or resources. It suggests that success requires more substantial contributions or efforts, symbolized by the metaphorical potluck. Just as attending a potluck with only a fork would limit one's options for enjoying the variety of dishes, arriving at a task or endeavor with inadequate resources, skills, or dedication would hinder one's chances of achieving success. It emphasizes the importance of bringing more to the table and being fully prepared in order to attain desired outcomes.
