“What matters in life is not what happened to you but what you remember and how you remember it”
— Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Simplified Meaning:
Life is more about how we think about the past rather than the events themselves. Imagine two people who both had the same difficult experience. If one person constantly thinks about how bad it was and keeps feeling sad or angry, it will affect their mood and behavior negatively. The other person might remember the same event but focus on what they learned from it or how strong it made them. This positive way of thinking can help them stay happy and motivated. So, in life, it's important to try and focus on the positive aspects of our memories and how we interpret them. This way, we can handle tough times better and live a happier, healthier life.
