Summary

This quote emphasizes that we possess the ability to both reason and take action. However, our success in life depends on how we prioritize and utilize these abilities. While sitting represents a passive approach, using our minds for critical thinking symbolizes active engagement with our thoughts and the decisions we make. Therefore, this quote suggests that success lies in our capacity to think and make informed choices, rather than relying solely on idle contemplation.
