"Et à la fin, ce ne sont pas les années dans votre vie qui comptent. C'est la vie dans vos années."
— Julio Cortazar
Simplified Meaning:
It's not about how long you live, but about how well you live your life. Imagine two people: one lives a very long life but spends most of their time just working and not enjoying much, while the other lives a shorter life but fills it with adventures, love, friendships, and fulfillment. The second person may have fewer years, but they have rich experiences and memories. This idea encourages us to make the most of our time by focusing on activities and relationships that bring us joy and satisfaction. Instead of just counting the number of birthdays, think about how you spend your days and make sure they are meaningful and happy. For example, rather than staying late at work every night, you could spend time with family, learn new skills, or pursue hobbies you love.
