"Al amanecer, cuando te cueste salir de la cama, dite a ti mismo: Tengo que ir a trabajar como ser humano."
— Marcus Aurelius
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes when we wake up in the morning, it's really hard to get out of bed. We might feel tired or just not excited about the day ahead. This quote is saying that when we face those moments, we should remind ourselves of our responsibilities as a person. It's about doing what we need to do because it is our duty. For example, think of a parent who has a baby. Even if they are really tired, they know they must get up to feed and take care of their child. They do it because they love their baby and understand their role as a parent. In the same way, we all have things we need to do every day—whether it's a job, taking care of family, or helping others. By seeing these tasks as part of what it means to be a good person, we can find the motivation to get up and get things done. This mindset helps us to be responsible and contribute positively to our world.
