There are two types of men who never amount to anything. One is the fellow who never does anything except that which he is told to do. The other is the fellow who cannot do even that which he is told to do.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who fail to succeed in life fall into two categories. The first category includes those who only perform tasks when explicitly instructed to do so and never take initiative or go beyond their designated responsibilities. The second category consists of individuals who not only lack initiative but also struggle to complete even the tasks assigned to them. Both types of individuals are portrayed as being unable to achieve success due to their lack of motivation, initiative, and ability to take action.
