The first half of life consists of the capacity to enjoy without the chance; the last half of life consists of the chance without the capacity

Summary

This quote encapsulates the cyclical nature of life and the shifting priorities and experiences that come with different stages. In the first half of life, individuals often have the energy, enthusiasm, and opportunities to pursue their interests and enjoy life to the fullest. However, as they enter the latter half, their capabilities may diminish, limiting their capacity to actively seek new experiences. At the same time, life presents more unexpected chances or opportunities that they may not have previously imagined or sought. It highlights the importance of cherishing and making the most of the present moment, as life's dynamics change over time.
