Summary

This quote reminds us that the world is filled with a vast amount of possibilities and experiences, much like a ten-ton cake that is too large to consume all at once. Instead, it advises us to select a piece of the world, to focus on a particular interest or passion and immerse ourselves fully in that aspect. By doing so, we can savor and enjoy that specific "piece" of the world and find fulfillment in it, similar to enjoying a slice of cake at a party. It encourages us to appreciate and make the most of the opportunities that come our way instead of feeling overwhelmed by trying to experience everything in the world.
