Summary

This quote suggests that although one can provide others with opportunities, it is ultimately up to the individuals themselves to seize and make the most out of those opportunities. While a person may present others with chances for success, growth, or advancement, they cannot force or guarantee that individuals will be able to take full advantage of them. It emphasizes the idea that equal opportunities exist, but whether or not people can make themselves equal to those opportunities depends on their own efforts, abilities, and choices.
