“You only get points when you make something the market wants. So if you work really hard on the wrong things, no one will care”
— Sam Altman
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you're trying to sell a new kind of toy. You spent months designing and creating it, even working late nights. But when you try to sell it, no kids are interested because they all want the latest video games, not toys. Even though you worked really hard, your effort doesn't matter because it's not what people want to buy. This quote is like that. It's saying that no matter how much effort you put into something, if it's not what people need or are looking for, it won't be successful. To do well, you need to focus on what will actually help others or what they are looking to buy. In your own life, it means before starting a big project, make sure it's something others are interested in or need, otherwise your hard work might not be appreciated.
