Quote The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.

“The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.” - Geoffrey Chaucer

Decryption of quote

"The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne."

Life is fleeting, passing by in the blink of an eye. It is a precious gift that we must cherish and make the most of. Every moment is a chance to learn, grow, and evolve.

But the craft, the skill, the expertise that we seek to acquire takes time. It requires dedication, perseverance, and a willingness to put in the effort.

Just as a master craftsman hones their skills over years of practice, so too must we be patient and committed to our own personal development.

It is a journey of self-discovery, of pushing ourselves beyond our limits, and of constantly striving to be better than we were yesterday.

There will be challenges along the way, obstacles to overcome, and setbacks to face. But it is through these struggles that we truly learn and grow.

So let us embrace the journey, relishing in the process of learning and growing. Let us not be discouraged by the length of the road ahead, but instead be inspired by the endless possibilities that await us.

For in the end, it is not the destination that matters, but the person we become along the way. And it is through the craft of learning that we shape ourselves into the best version of who we can be.
