時機　林鈺堂

稍縱即逝認機緣，行止順逆遠殊途；
抉擇累積成來路，前程結局繫一搏。

跋

機緣遷變，往往瞬間。行止順逆，隨即殊途。回顧來路，抉擇積就。展望前程，趁機疾為。

Window of Opportunity　Yutang Lin

Recognize the window of opportunity for its transience;
Action or inaction, pro or con distances different routes.
Choices made accumulated to shape the path traversed;
The way ahead as well as its finale are tied to one move.

Comment:

The window of opportunity may close at any instant. One's action or inaction, acting in tune or out of steps, would immediately decide a distinct route. Looking back at the path traversed one realizes that it is shaped by the accumulation of choices made. Looking into what may lie ahead, one should seize the opportunity as it arises and make immediate efforts.
