Quote by Maya Lin

The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life, and it wasn't about money. It was about teaching, or learning.

The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life

Summary

It suggests that what truly matters is the impact we have on others and the knowledge we acquire and share. Prioritizing these actions over financial gains highlights the importance of personal and intellectual growth and helping others, instead of being driven solely by monetary success.
