“A well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one”
— Thomas Carlyle

Simplified Meaning:
A well-written life is like a good story. It's rare because it takes effort and smart choices. Just like it’s hard to find a great book where every chapter captivates you, living a meaningful life where you use time wisely and make good decisions is not easy. Consider someone who works hard to help their community; they take time to volunteer, help others, and make a real difference. Their actions make their life both 'well-spent' and worth reading about. To apply this idea, focus on making positive choices and living in a way that would make an interesting and worthwhile story.
