Summary

This quote suggests that a person's age should not be the sole measure of their worth or value.

It implies that true significance lies not in the mere passage of time but in what an individual has achieved and has yet to accomplish, reminding us to recognize the potential and ongoing growth in individuals even without solely basing it on their age.
