有些人，你以为可以再见面的。有些事，你以为可以一直继续的。
There are always some people whom you think you can meet again. There are always something that you take them granted as they will go on existing all the time.
可在你转身的那个瞬间，有些人，也许这辈子再也不会相见了。
But in an instant, like you are just turning around, you could never see someone again in the rest of your life.
当太阳落下，又升起来的时候，一切都变了。一不小心，就再也回不去了。
In between sunset and sunrise, everything might change. Before you knew it, you might never get back to where you were.
人最大的错误就是认为自己有的是时间。
One of the biggest mistakes of us is to think we have plenty of time.
总以为岁月漫漫，有的是时间挥霍，有的是时间等待。
We have been always thinking that we own ourselves uninhibited time to squander, and so the time to wait.
总以为明天很多，很多事不必急于一时，很多人无需立刻相见。
"Do not hasten to take care of something and there is no hurry of seeing someone because many tomorrows will come." You keep on telling yourselves.
我们总以为我们有的是时间，可是我们忘了。忘了时间的残酷，忘了人生的短暂，忘了世上有永远都无法报答的恩情，忘了生命本身不堪一击的脆弱。
Indeed, time is endless, but not to us. We must forget the cruelty of time; we must forget our lives are too short to repay the kindness this world has rendered to us, and we must also forget life itself is too fragile to be unassailable.
世间的期待有一千种，最好的那种叫“明日可期”；
Among a thousand of expectations there in the world, the best one is "tomorrow will be a brighter day".
人生的谎言也有一千种，最大的那种叫“来日方长”。
Likewise, a thousand of lies in this world also, the biggest one is there are "years ahead of us".
我们总以为未来很久，其实谁也不知道明天和意外哪个先来。
We always think that the future is a long, long journey for us. In fact, no one knows which one of the following comes earlier, a tomorrow or an accident.
等将来，等不忙，等下次，等有时间，等有条件，等有钱了。
We keep on waiting for future, leisure time, next time, spare time, and the time when we are rich enough to fulfill any of our needs.
等来等去，等没了缘分，等没了青春，等到最后，等没了健康，等没了机会，等没了选择，等来了遗憾。.
But during the time of waiting, we are bound to lose the possible lots, our youth and health, chances and choices, everything but regrets.
什么才是真正的拥有？
What does the word "possession" really mean to you?
一念既起，拼尽心力当下完成，那一刻，才算是真正实在的拥有。
A notion arises in your mind, telling you to do something, then do it and get it done without any efforts spared. When accomplished, it becomes one of the real "possessions" of yours.
所以，别等，别怕，别遗憾。
Therefore, do not procrastinate, do not dread, and then you do not have to repent your waiting.
别再等来日方长，因为朋友不会停留。趁着大家还在，想聚就聚。不要等你再想起约他们聚会时，却发现有些人再也不能赴约了。
So stop quitting the idea of "years ahead of us" any more because your friends will not be waiting there for you all the time. Make good use of we are still being, meet one another whenever we can. Do not wait until the time you are trying to meet you old pals but some of them are unable to accept or keep an appointment.
别再等来日方长，因为时间不会等你。趁着时光正好，来一场说走就走的旅行。不要等你想去了，才发现自己已经颤颤巍巍走不动了。
So stop quitting the idea of "years ahead of us" any more because time will not be waiting there for you. Take advantage of some opportune moment, go to get an improvised travel. Do not wait until the days when you can only walk with faltering steps.
世事无常，趁阳光正好，趁微风不燥，想爱的人就去爱，想见的人就去见，想做的事就去做吧。
Nothing is eternal, and everything is impermanent. To love the loved ones, to meet the people you want to see, to do the things you want to do, while there are still bright sunshine and gentle breeze.
如此，才是对人生最大的不辜负 !
Cape diem! That is the best reward for your life!
