Simplified Meaning:
Life is brief, but there are many things to learn, and mastering them takes a lot of time. Imagine you want to be really good at playing the piano.

This saying suggests we should appreciate and make the most of our time, focusing on learning and growing. It reminds us not to waste time and encourages us to start learning and practicing our passions as soon as possible.
