If you wait until you see the robin, spring will be over.

Summary

This quote suggests that time waits for no one, and waiting for clear and obvious signs before taking action can lead to missed opportunities. It serves as a reminder to take life by the hand and seize the moment, rather than passively waiting for things to happen. Just as the robin is an indicator of the arrival of spring, so too are there subtle signs and moments of opportunity that we must be keen to recognize and act upon before they pass us by.
