“Say not: When I have free time I shall study; perhaps you will not have free time”
— Rabbi Hillel
Simplified Meaning:
Don't wait for the perfect moment to start learning something new because that moment might never come. It's easy to say we will study later when things calm down, but life is often busy and unpredictable. For example, imagine someone wanting to learn a new language. They might keep postponing their study because they have work or other responsibilities. But as time goes by, more tasks and distractions come up, making it even harder to find that "free time." Instead, it's better to start with whatever little time you have, even if it's just a few minutes each day. This way, you'll gradually make progress without waiting for a time that might never arrive.
