The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them; a man may live long yet live very little.
生命的价值不在于活几天,而在于我们如何利用生命。有人活得久却活得没有意义。
It does not matter if we live a short life as long as we have been living a meaningful one. In other words, it’s better to live a short but happy and useful life than to live a long but unhappy and useless life. As they say, “The value of life lies not in the length of days but in the use we make of them; a man may live long yet live very little.”
只要一生活得有意义,我们的寿命即使很短也没有关系。换句话说,活得短暂但日子却过得快乐有所作为要比活得久但日子过得不快乐也无所作为要好。有人说:“生命的价值不在于活几天,而在于我们如何利用生命。有人活得久却活得没有意义。”
