“Our lives teach us who we are”
— Salman Rushdie
Simplified Meaning:
As we go through different experiences in life, we learn more about ourselves, what we like, what we dislike, and what is important to us. For example, someone might try many different jobs before realizing they are happiest when they work with animals. This helps them understand they are a caring, compassionate person. Each experience, whether good or bad, shapes our understanding of who we are. It's like a mirror showing us our true self bit by bit. By paying attention to these experiences, we can grow and make better choices that fit who we really are.
