“I think life on Earth must be about more than just solving problems ... It's got to be something inspiring, even if it is vicarious.”
— Elon Musk
Simplified Meaning:
Life shouldn't be only about fixing what's broken or dealing with issues. Imagine if everyone's day was just about chores and dealing with problems, it would feel quite dull and exhausting. Life needs to have moments that lift our spirits and fill us with excitement. Think about a musician who creates beautiful music. The music itself might not solve any problems directly, but it brings joy and inspiration to many people, making their lives richer and more fulfilling. Even if we're not the musician, simply listening to the music can inspire us. Similarly, by finding and engaging in activities that bring us joy or watching others achieve great things, we add meaning and excitement to our lives. This way, life's purpose includes moments of inspiration, not just endless problem-solving.
