About this Quote

This quote by Yevgeny Prigozhin talks to the idea that there are two types of individuals in the world: those who take action and those who do not. The "real men" are those who are actively participated in the battle, whether it be a physical fight or a metaphorical one. They are the ones who are willing to put in the effort and take threats in order to attain their objectives. On the other hand, there are those who "similar to mess around". These people are content to sit back and view as others act, never ever getting involved themselves. They might be content with their lives, however they are not actively working to make a difference. Prigozhin's quote is a pointer that it is very important to act and be a part of the battle, instead of just kicking back and watching. It is only through doing something about it that we can make a distinction and develop a much better world.
