"Le temps et la marée n'attendent personne"

Geoffrey Chaucer

Simplified Meaning:

Time passes, and opportunities come and go, whether we are ready or not. Imagine a train that arrives at the station and leaves on schedule, no matter if you are on board. In our lives, chances and moments happen just like that train, and they won't pause for us. This is why it's important to act when the opportunity presents itself. For example, if you want to learn a new skill or visit a place you've always dreamed about, start now rather than waiting for the "perfect" time. Remember, waiting too long could mean missing out, so it's better to take action while you can.
