Once youth is gone, it is impossible to come back and never see the next day. We should encourage ourselves in our prime. Time goes by and waits for no one.

Tao Yuanming's Miscellaneous Poems in Wei and Jin Dynasties
Life without a base is like the dust of the road.
Life blowing in the wind, the body has gone through hardships, and it is not what it used to be.
When the world is brothers, why do brothers of their own brothers want to date each other?
When you meet a pleasure, you should be happy, and you should invite your neighbors to drink.
Once the youth is gone, it will never come again, and you will never see the arrival of the next day.
It's time for people to encourage themselves when they reach middle age. Time goes by and waits for no one.
Life has no roots in the world, floating like dust in the Tao. Life blowing in the wind, this body has gone through hardships and is no longer what it used to be. The whole world wants to be brothers, why do biological brothers want to date each other? When you are happy, you should be happy. If you have wine, you should invite your neighbors to drink it. Once youth is gone, it is impossible to come back and never see the next day. We should encourage ourselves in our prime. Time goes by and waits for no one.

The river runs to the sea, and when will it return to the west?
A lazy youth, a lousy age.
When can a hundred rivers run to the sea and return to the west? If young people don't work hard in time, they will only regret it for a lifetime when they are old.
2, "Tomorrow Song" Ming Wen Jia
The day after tomorrow, how many tomorrows!
Tomorrow will never come.
Tomorrow is another tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are. I've been waiting for tomorrow all my life, and I haven't made any progress.
3. "Two Songs in Bailudong" Don Wang Zhenbai
Concentrate on reading, I know that spring has passed, and every inch of time is as precious as an inch of gold.
It is not Taoism that mocks, but the teachings of Duke Zhou are devoted to the study of Confucius.
Concentrate on reading, before you know it, spring has passed, and every inch of time is like gold. It's not that Taoist priests laugh at it, but that they put the essence of Duke Zhou and Confucius' thoughts and theories into their study.
