"La tragedia de la vida es que envejecemos demasiado pronto y nos volvemos sabios demasiado tarde"

Benjamin Franklin

Simplified Meaning:

As we go through life, we often find ourselves wishing we had known more when we were younger. When we are young, we make mistakes because we don't have enough experience or wisdom. Unfortunately, by the time we gain that wisdom, we are often older and don't have as much time left to use it. It's like spending all your money on toys when you're a kid, and only realizing once you're grown up that you should have saved some for the future. Imagine a young person spending their energy on things that don't matter much and later on realizing what truly makes life meaningful, but feeling like it's too late to change. The advice here is to try and learn from experiences and the wisdom of others early on, so you can make better choices and fully enjoy your life while you have the chance.
