Those who arrive early may not succeed, and those who arrive late may not fail. Don't be self-reliant when you are young, and don't give up on yourself when you are old.

Explanation of the famous saying:

Feng Menglong of the Ming Dynasty "Warning Words: An Old Disciple Repays His Gratitude in Three Lives".

The general idea of ??these two sentences is: people who mature early may not necessarily be successful, and people who mature late may not be insignificant.

This is a saying full of dialectics. Success does not come sooner or later, as long as you persevere, this is the main purpose of this sentence. What it wants to explain is that you cannot be proud of "achieving early", you cannot give up on "achieving early", and you cannot give up on "achieving late". If you achieve early without working hard, and waste time, "you may not succeed" in the end. And although he is late, he perseveres and strives for progress, which is "not necessarily unachievable". It is not uncommon for people to be "late bloomers". This sentence has a speculative spirit, coupled with the counterpoint and neatness of the sentence structure, it gives people a more beautiful feeling.
