Summary

This quote encourages perseverance and resilience in the face of indifference or lack of recognition for one's efforts. It likens the indifference to people sleeping through the beautiful show put on by the sun at daybreak. It implies that even if your efforts or accomplishments go unnoticed or unappreciated by others, it is important to stay motivated and not be disheartened by their lack of response. Just like the sun's brilliance remains unchanged despite the audience's lack of awareness, the value of your work does not diminish based on others' indifference.
