Summary

This quote suggests that even as we grow older, we are presented with new opportunities, just like those we had in our youth. Although aging may bring about different circumstances and experiences, it does not diminish the potential for growth and achievement. It compares this to the gradual transition from daylight to nighttime; even though stars are invisible during the day, they fill the sky and represent the hidden opportunities that age brings.
