33 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +3 more context is needed to translate correctly, but the distinction is striaghtforward.
Explanation:
To do well means to be successful, either in a specific endeavor or in general. A student does well when he/she makes good grades. A businessman does well when he achieves his business goals.
ينجح، يفلح، الخ
On the other hand, to do good means to do good deeds, to act charitably and with integrity:
يفعل الخير
To translte this distinction in your particular context, one needs to look at a fuller portion of the text.
