“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.”

John Lennon

Simplified Meaning:

It's better to measure the quality of your life by the good relationships and happy moments rather than just by the number of years you’ve lived. Having lots of friends means you’re rich in connections and love, which is more important than just getting older each year. Similarly, focusing on the happy times and smiles makes life feel more meaningful than concentrating on sad moments or tears. For example, think about a birthday party. Instead of worrying about getting older, enjoy the time with friends who come to celebrate with you and build joyful memories together. By focusing on positive relationships and happy experiences, your life will feel more fulfilling and joyful.
