While we are postponing, life speeds by.

Summary

This quote implies that when we delay or procrastinate important aspects of our lives, opportunities and precious moments pass us by quickly. It serves as a reminder that time waits for no one, and the longer we put off taking action or making decisions, the faster life seems to escape us. It emphasizes the significance of not wasting time and encourages us to seize the present moment, as the consequences of delaying can be a missed chance at happiness and fulfillment.

Up to a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity, and the movements and changes in the world around him. Then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be.

The wish, however, must be implemented by deeds.
