Simplified Meaning:
Life is short and time moves quickly, but learning something well or mastering a skill takes a lot of time. Imagine you want to learn to play the piano. Even though you might only have a few years to live, learning to play the piano beautifully could take many years of practice every day. This idea can be applied to any skill or craft, like becoming a great cook or painter. It takes patience and dedication. Since we don't have unlimited time, we should use the time we do have wisely and focus on what's important to us. This means practicing and working hard at the things we love or want to get good at.
