Simplified Meaning:

As we go through life, we gain experiences and learn valuable lessons. Often, by the time we truly understand what is important and gain the wisdom to make better choices, many years have already passed. Imagine a young person who makes lots of mistakes because they don’t know any better. As they grow older, they learn from these mistakes, but by then, they might feel that they’ve missed many opportunities to do things differently. For example, someone might spend years working too hard and not spending enough time with friends or family. Only when they are older do they realize the importance of those relationships and the time they have lost. This quote highlights the regret that comes with recognizing important life lessons when we no longer have the same energy or years ahead of us to use that wisdom fully. To make the most of our lives, it is important to seek advice, reflect on our actions, and learn from others’ experiences as early as possible. This way, we can try to avoid some regrets and make wiser decisions sooner in life.
