“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us”
— J.R.R. Tolkien
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone has a limited amount of time in their life, and it's up to each person to choose how they want to spend it. Imagine you have a day off from work. You can choose to spend it relaxing at home, hanging out with friends, or learning something new. Each choice will have a different impact on how you feel at the end of the day. Similarly, in life, we can decide to either make the most of our time by doing meaningful activities or waste it on things that don't really matter. For example, someone might choose to volunteer and help others, finding a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Another person might spend the same time watching TV all day, which doesn't leave them feeling as accomplished. Deciding how to use our time wisely helps in living a more satisfying and purposeful life.
