“The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation”
— Corrie Ten Boom

Simplified Meaning:
The value of a person's life isn't about how long they live, but about what they give to others and how they make a difference. For example, take Mother Teresa. She didn't live an extremely long life, but she spent her time helping the poor and sick, making a big impact on many people's lives. Her contributions are what people remember and honor, not her age when she passed away. In our own lives, this means that it's more important to be kind, help others, and make positive changes in the world than to worry about how long we live. If you spend your time doing good deeds and supporting those in need, your life will be meaningful no matter how many years you're alive. So, focus on making a difference rather than counting the years.
