"In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
Simplified meaning
Living a long time is not as important as what you do with the time you have. Imagine two people: one lives to be 90 but spends most of their time bored and unhappy. The other person lives to be 60 but fills their days with joy, adventures, and meaningful work. The second person has a richer, more fulfilling life because they made the most of their time, even if it was shorter. The message is to focus on enjoying and making the most out of every moment, rather than just aiming to live many years. This can mean trying new things, spending time with loved ones, or working on things you're passionate about. So, instead of worrying about trying to live a long life, think about how you can make each day special and meaningful.
