Simplified Meaning:

Spending your life working on something that will last beyond your own time is the best way to use your life. Think about people who plant trees. They won't get to enjoy the full-grown trees, but future generations will benefit from the shade and fruits. Similarly, someone who writes a book, builds a school, or teaches valuable lessons is leaving a legacy that continues to help others even after they are gone. This advice encourages us to focus on long-term goals and contributions rather than just short-term gains. By thinking of how our actions can have a lasting positive impact, we can live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. So, whether it's through kindness, creativity, or hard work, aim to leave something behind that will make the world a better place for the future.
