Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of taking action and not simply relying on being in the right direction. Being on the "right track" implies having a clear goal or purpose, but without active effort and movement, it becomes meaningless. The quote suggests that progress requires more than just knowledge or alignment with a good intention; it demands constant motion and decisive steps forward. By warning against complacency, it reminds us that maintaining momentum and continuously striving to move forward is essential for success.
