Summary

This quote suggests that the experiences and challenges of life are a gift, much like a child entrusted to a nanny's care. It implies that life offers us opportunities for growth and development, similar to how a nanny raises a child until they reach maturity.

It encourages us to embrace the various experiences presented to us, ultimately shaping us into better versions of ourselves.
