I feel like that has more layers. I forget the context but it sounds like he's telling someone they are proficient and competent, but missing the forest for the trees somehow.

Also Iroh strikes me as someone who will chose kindness over snark more often than not.

The quote from the meme wasn't said by Iroh: https://avatar.fandom.com/wiki/Transcript:The_Crossroads_of_Destiny

At that moment, he was giving wonderful advice:

Aang: Well, I met with this guru who was supposed to help me master the Avatar State and control this great power, but to do it, I had to let go of someone I love. [He and Iroh stop.] And I just couldn't.

Iroh: Perfection and power are overrated. I think you were very wise to choose happiness and love.

Aang: [Earthbends again.] What happens if we can't save anyone and beat Azula? Without the Avatar State, what if I'm not powerful enough?

Iroh: I don't know the answer. Sometimes, life is like this dark tunnel. You can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving, [Aang earthbends the rocks away one last time. Iroh's fire blows out. He smiles.] you will come to a better place.
