"消费是所有生产的唯一目的和最终目标"
— Adam Smith

Simplified Meaning:
Everything that gets made is done so that someone will use it up. Think about a bakery making bread. The goal is for people to buy and eat the bread, not just for it to sit on the shelf. In the same way, every product, whether it's a car, a book, or a piece of clothing, is created because there is a need or want for it. If nobody wants or needs these things, then there’s no point in making them in the first place. This idea can help businesses and workers focus on making things that people will really value and want to use. It’s a reminder that the end goal of making anything is that it should be useful to someone.
