“Without the expectation of betterment, life would be impossible”
— Italo Calvino
Simplified Meaning:
Believing that things can get better keeps us going. Imagine having a hard time at school or work. If you think your efforts won't improve the situation, you'd feel hopeless and might give up. However, knowing that studying more or working harder can change things for the better gives you the strength to keep trying. For example, when Thomas Edison was inventing the light bulb, he failed many times. But he kept going because he believed he would eventually succeed. This hope and expectation for improvement helped him push through challenges. In everyday life, this means always having faith that your efforts can lead to a better outcome, which keeps you motivated even when times are tough.
