Simplified Meaning:

What counts in life is what you do, not how long you live. Imagine two people: one lives a long life but doesn't do much, while the other lives a shorter life but makes big, positive changes in their community. The second person's life is seen as more meaningful. It's like a doctor who saves many lives but only lives to be 50 years old versus someone who lives to be 90 but doesn't contribute much to society. The doctor's shorter life is filled with important actions. So, focus on making a difference, helping others, and doing good things, no matter how old you are. Living this way can make your life feel more rewarding and fulfilling.
