“Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.”
— Jeff Bezos

Simplified Meaning:
We rely on the hard work and contributions of people from the past and present in our daily lives. Think about using a smartphone: it’s only possible thanks to countless engineers, designers, and factory workers who created it. Just as we benefit from what others have done, we also have a responsibility to contribute back to society. For example, if you are a teacher, your efforts help shape the minds of future generations, much like how past teachers have influenced you. This idea encourages us to recognize our interconnectedness and to work hard to ensure we are giving back as much as we receive. By doing so, we maintain a cycle of support and improvement for everyone in the community.
