Summary
This quote suggests that achieving significance and being regarded as someone important or successful requires longevity. Simply making a name for oneself is not enough; one must also be able to withstand the test of time and maintain relevance or impact. It implies that enduring success is not based on temporary fame or fleeting accomplishments, but on one's ability to endure and make a lasting impact in their chosen field or in society as a whole.
