Simplified Meaning:

People find joy and purpose in life and work when they transform into a different and better version of themselves. This means continually growing and changing from who you were at the start. Think of it like planting a small tree; over time, with care and effort, it grows strong and tall. Similarly, as we learn new things, develop new skills, and face challenges, we slowly become someone wiser and more capable than we were in the past. For example, imagine someone starting a new job with little knowledge. At first, they might feel unsure and make mistakes. But as they gain experience, seek advice, and try new approaches, they improve and become more confident and skilled in their work. This growth can lead to new opportunities and even a new role they never imagined at the beginning. In your own life, you can embrace change and challenges, knowing that they help you grow. Instead of fearing mistakes or feeling stuck, view them as chances to learn and evolve. Over time, you’ll see how much you’ve changed and realize that you’ve become someone different and better than when you began.
