“Make a difference about something other than yourselves”
— Toni Morrison
Simplified Meaning:
When you focus on helping others or improving things that are not just about you, you contribute to making the world a better place. Think about people who volunteer at shelters or help clean up parks. Their actions don't bring them direct benefits—they're making life better for others and the community. Imagine a person who organizes a neighborhood clean-up; they aren't just thinking about their own backyard but about everyone's space. By doing this, they create a cleaner, nicer area for all residents. You can do the same by helping a friend with homework, even when you don't get anything in return. It's about looking beyond your own needs and seeing how you can improve the world around you. Making a difference for others can bring you a sense of satisfaction and pride that you might not get from only thinking of yourself.
