“The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke

Simplified Meaning:
Living life is about facing bigger and harder challenges as you grow. Think of a video game: as you get better, the levels become tougher. The same happens in real life - when you solve one problem, a bigger one often appears. It's not about feeling like a failure, but about learning and growing from each struggle. Imagine a child learning to ride a bike; first, they manage with training wheels, then progress to riding without them, and later might face even greater challenges like biking up steep hills. These ongoing challenges help us develop and become stronger. So, don't fear hard times; they help you become better and stronger for the future.
