Simplified Meaning:

The quote suggests that you should live your life with urgency and passion, as if you don't have much time left. Imagine you have only one day left to do everything you want. You would spend it doing the things that matter most to you, not wasting time on unimportant stuff. At the same time, it encourages you to keep learning and expanding your knowledge, as if you have an endless amount of time. Think of learning a new skill or reading new books—even if you grow old, the things you learn will always benefit you. For example, if someone loves painting but thinks they’re too old to start, this quote would tell them to go ahead and paint like there’s no tomorrow, and also to keep learning and improving their skills continuously. By following this advice, you can lead a more fulfilling and enriched life.
