Life is short; arts forever.

ὁ βίος βραχὺς, ἡ δὲ τέχνη μακρὴ, ὁ δὲ καιρὸς ὀξὺς, ἡ δὲ πεῖρα σφαλερὴ, ἡ δὲ κρίσις χαλεπή. δεῖ δὲ οὐ μόνον ἑωυτὸν παρέχειν τὰ δέοντα ποιεῦντα, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸν νοσέοντα, καὶ τοὺς παρεόντας, καὶ τὰ ἔξωθεν.

Life is short, and Art long; the crisis fleeting; experience perilous, and decision difficult. The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself, but also to make the patient, the attendants, and externals cooperate.

• 這個暑假很沒詩意，打轉幾回，整理整理，準備開學。
• 回到起初之心，就是學習的心，生活遇到的大事小事，都當作學習的機會。
• 生命短暫，萬物眾生皆如此，所以，重視生命。
• 但是，藝術卻是有恆，Hippocrates談的是醫學的藝術、技術與能力，想想，這不就是每個人精通的專業技術嗎? 要不斷練習，精益求精，因為每一種技能都像藝術，一輩子都學不完。
