Simplified Meaning:

It's important to have big dreams and goals for your future, but you should also take the time to enjoy the simple, everyday joys in life. For example, you might want to become a doctor or travel the world someday, which are big and exciting plans. However, while you're working towards those goals, don't forget to appreciate small moments like having a delicious meal, spending time with friends, or watching a beautiful sunset. Both big dreams and small pleasures are important. Dreams can motivate and guide you, but small pleasures make life enjoyable day-by-day. A person who can balance their aspirations with taking joy in the little things is often happier and more fulfilled. So while you work hard for your big dreams, remember to stop and enjoy the little things around you that can bring immediate happiness and satisfaction.
