And I bet it's harder than people think, isn't it? Everything looks so simple from a distance. Then, the more you look, the more you see. And that's when you have to rise to the challenge.

About This Quote

Colin Powell said: "And I bet it's harder than people think, isn't it? Everything looks so simple from a distance. Then, the more you look, the more you see. And that's when you have to rise to the challenge." In this quote, he is saying that everything looks easy from a distance. However, when we get closer and look more closely, we see that there are always difficulties in life.

Every task, every challenge, and every obstacle is hard. But by rising to the challenge of each challenge, we can achieve anything that we want in life.
