"Les digo a mis estudiantes: "Cuando consigan estos trabajos para los que han sido entrenados tan brillantemente, solo recuerden que su verdadero trabajo es que si ustedes son libres, necesitan liberar a alguien más. Si tienen algún poder, entonces su traba"
— Toni Morrison

Simplified Meaning:
If you've worked hard and landed a job you're really good at, it's important to remember that your true purpose is to help others. Think of it like this: if you have the freedom to make choices, use it to help others have the same freedom. For example, if you're in a position of power or influence, use that to support and uplift someone who might not have the same opportunities. Imagine a teacher who not only teaches students but also goes out of their way to mentor struggling ones, giving them extra help so they can thrive too. This advice is about sharing your success and power to create a better, more equal world for everyone. So, whenever you achieve something significant, look around to see who you can bring along with you.
