Progress Day by Day
rì jiàn
This Chinese word means to progress, increase, or change day by day.
It suggests something getting better one day at a time or with each passing day.
Life is Short
A 100-year-old is but a traveler passing through this life
bǎi suì guāng yīn rú guò kè
百歲光陰如過客 directly translates as: [Even a] hundred-year-old [person] is [just a] traveler passing by.
The simple message is, “Human life is short.” Of course, there is an unspoken suggestion that you should make the best of your time here on earth.
