“Living life in deeds, not in years ”

Omar Khayyam

Simplified Meaning:

It's about focusing on what you do instead of how long you live. Imagine two people. One lives to be 100 years old but doesn’t do much—maybe just watches TV all day. The other lives to be 50 but spends time helping others, creating things, and making people happy. Even though the second person had a shorter life, their life was full of meaningful actions and contributions. It's like having a short but exciting adventure versus a long, uneventful trip. So, the suggestion is to make the most of your time by doing good things, rather than worrying about how much time you have.
