What it means
Good advice is useless until you test it and act on it. Listen to wise people, think about where their advice leads, then actually put it into practice.हिंदी में अर्थ
जो समझदार लोगों की अच्छी बातों को उनके नतीजों के आधार पर ध्यान से परखता है और फिर उन्हें अपने कामों में उतारता है, वह लंबे समय तक यश में रहता है।
अच्छी सलाह तब तक बेकार है जब तक उसे परखकर अमल न करें। समझदारों को सुनिए, सोचिए, और फिर सचमुच करके दिखाइए।
