Summary
This quote, spoken by the character Andy Dufresne in the film "The Shawshank Redemption," emphasizes the importance of taking action and making decisions in life. In any given situation, one can either embrace life's opportunities and actively pursue their goals ("get busy living"), or settle for a passive existence with no growth or fulfillment ("get busy dying"). It reminds us that we have the power to shape our own destinies and that our choices determine the quality of life we experience.
