“The essential question is not, "How busy are you?" but "What are you busy at?”
— Oprah Winfrey

Simplified Meaning:
It's not about how much you do in a day, but what you choose to spend your time on. Imagine two people working hard all day. One spends hours surfing the internet without any real purpose, while the other uses their time to learn new skills or help others. Both are busy, but only one is doing something meaningful or useful. The idea is to focus on activities that truly matter and bring value to your life or others, rather than just being occupied with anything. So, instead of filling your day with random tasks, think about what actions will make a real difference for you. This way, you’ll find more satisfaction and purpose in your daily routine.
