Summary

This quote suggests that material possessions and external recognition are fleeting and temporary. Wealth, beauty, and fame may come and go, leaving individuals with a void. However, once these superficial aspects diminish, what truly matters is the desire to contribute and be of value to others. Being useful implies finding purpose and making a positive impact beyond superficial attributes, emphasizing the importance of personal growth and meaningful connections rather than attaching significance solely to material wealth or temporary accolades.
