Time teaches us

Time teaches us:

Money cannot buy life,

Profit cannot replace health,

The greatest wealth is to be alive,

The greatest happiness is peace!

Time teaches us:

To cherish the body is wisdom,

Good health is the true victory.

A healthy body is everything for the family.

Time teaches us:

The most expensive bed is the sickbed,

The best medicine is health,

Making money is not for medical treatment, but for enjoyment,

Living is not for being sick, but for life.

Time teaches us:

In this life, do not compete for money or houses,

What we can compete for is health.

Health is not the first, but the only,

Health is the treasure, the best in the world.

Time teaches us:

The world belongs to you and me,

But ultimately belongs to those

Who are healthy and live long,

Live out the brilliance of life,

Live out the quality of life,

Live out a healthy body,

This is the hard truth.

Time teaches us:

Home is the warmest harbor,

Family is the strongest support.

As long as we are together with family, we are happy and blessed.

Time teaches us:

The most valuable things are not houses and cars,

But a healthy body.

The most precious things are not wealth and fame,

But vibrant life.

When we have no money, we think money is the best,

When we have no house, we think a house is the best.

But in the face of time, we suddenly realize,

The best is health, the most expensive is life.

Time teaches us:

Having food and drink is happiness,

Being able to run and jump is bliss,

Living healthily is luck,

Living peacefully is a blessing.

Time teaches us:

Life has no eternity, tomorrow is not long,

We must live well in the present, cherish the moment,

Do what you want to do quickly,

Meet the people you want to meet soon,

Do not wait, do not procrastinate,

Otherwise, you will leave behind irreparable regrets.

Time teaches us:

In this life, there are causes and effects,

What kind of cause you plant, you will reap what kind of effect.

To understand cherishing is to deserve to have,

To know gratitude is to have help.

In this life, there are regrets, go to make up for them,

In this world, there are attachments, go to accompany them.

Human life is limited,

We must leave precious time,

For those who know how to cherish.

Time teaches us:

Living in this world, apart from life and death,

Everything else is trivial.

Nothing is more important than life,

Nothing is better than being alive.

Exercise the body, enhance immunity,

Health is your only!
