"El tiempo perdido nunca se recupera."
— Benjamin Franklin
Simplified Meaning:
Time that passes cannot be recovered. Once a moment is gone, you can't get it back. For example, if you spend a whole day playing video games instead of studying for a test, you can’t get that day back to use it differently. This teaches us to use our time wisely because once it's spent, it's gone forever. Imagine you have a certain amount of money to spend each day—once you spend it, you can't get it back, so you have to think carefully about how you use it. Similarly, we should think carefully about how we use our time, making sure to spend it on things that matter to us and help us in our lives. Make sure to balance your fun activities with responsibilities, so you don’t regret how you used your time later.
