"没有一切是建立在石头上的; 一切都是建立在沙子上的, 但是我们必须像建造在石头上一样建造。"
— Jorge Luis Borges

Simplified Meaning:
Everything in life is uncertain and can change at any time, just like sand can shift and move easily. Even though we know that nothing lasts forever, we should still put our best effort into everything we do, as if it were going to last. Think of building a sandcastle on the beach. You know the waves will eventually wash it away, but you still take the time to make it as beautiful and as strong as you can. This teaches us to live fully and give our best in our work, relationships, and dreams, even if we know that things might not last forever. By doing this, we create a meaningful and fulfilling life despite its uncertainties.
