"人生苦短,学艺漫长。"
— Geoffrey Chaucer
Simplified Meaning:
Life is brief, but it takes a lot of time and effort to master a skill. Think about someone learning to play the piano. They only have so many years in life, yet truly becoming excellent at playing the piano requires many years of practice and dedication. This idea highlights that our time is limited, so we should value it and use it wisely, especially when working to get good at something. It also means we should be patient with ourselves and persistent, as true mastery of a craft doesn’t happen overnight. So, if there’s something you’re passionate about, start learning and practicing now, and keep at it, knowing it’s a long-term commitment.
