Quote by Alfred A. Montapert
The majority see the obstacles the few see the objectives history records the successes of the latter, while oblivion is the reward of the former.
Summary
This quote means that most people only focus on the difficulties and obstacles in their path, while only a few have the ability to see and understand the ultimate goals and objectives. History remembers and celebrates the achievements of those few who can see beyond the obstacles and work towards the objectives. Meanwhile, those who solely fixate on the challenges end up being forgotten and disregarded. It highlights the importance of having a visionary mindset and the ability to focus on long-term goals rather than getting absorbed by immediate obstacles.
