“Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.”
— Nikola Tesla
Simplified Meaning:
When people look back at what others have done, the true value of their work will become clear. For now, other people might have control or seem more important, but time will show who really made a difference. For example, think about artists or scientists who weren't famous during their lives but became respected long after they were gone. It means if you focus on doing good work, even if you aren't recognized now, in the future people will see and appreciate what you have done. So, keep working hard and don't worry if you don't get immediate praise or recognition. Your efforts might be more appreciated as time goes on.
