This quote suggests that one's perception of their influence is often different from the reality when they actually attempt to exert it. It implies that gaining power or authority may lead individuals to believe they have control over others, but when they attempt to use their influence, they realize it is not as strong as they initially thought. It highlights the importance of understanding the true extent of one's influence and the limitations that may come with it.
