大抵人情苦于犹豫,多致因循,一向懒废。今但心所欲为,向前便做,不要迟疑等待,即只此目下,顷刻之间,亦须渐见功效矣。年运易往,时不待人,况中岁以后,尤宜汲汲也。
--《朱文公文集》

A Reply to Old Huang Song1
Zhu Xi
People are
generally apt to hesitate time and again before doing things, which
often leads to delay or failure. If you want to do anything, just
go ahead without any hesitation. Your efforts can begin to have
effect even in a moment of time.
Time is fleeting and will not wait for us. Especially we
middle-aged people should seize the day and race against
time.
