realize one's potential
to fulfill one's potential; to do as well as one possibly can. I hope I can get a good education so lean realize my potential.
realize something from something
1. to perceive something from some kind of evidence. I just now realized something from what you've been saying. Tom realized how wrong he had been from what Mary told him.
2. to reap a profit by selling an asset that has increased in value. He realized a large profit from the sale of the house. We hoped to realize a lot of money from the sale of stock.
