"过去是幽灵，未来是梦想，而我们拥有的只有现在"
— Bill Cosby

Simplified Meaning:
What happened in the past cannot be changed, just like how you can't touch a ghost. It's gone and only exists in memories. The future is like a dream because it hasn’t happened yet, and we can't predict exactly what will come. The only moment we can truly experience and influence is the present, right now. For example, imagine you’re preparing for an exam. You can't fix any study time you missed earlier, and you can't be sure about what questions will be in the test tomorrow. But you can choose to study right now. This advice helps us focus on today and the actions we can take immediately, instead of worrying or regretting things we can't control.
