少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲

If don't work hard when young,
You'll regret in vain when old.
這個有點濫竽充數了。抱歉。

Do you mean English or Chinese or both?:P

When young, if you don't work hard to gain,
As you are old, you will regret in vain.

I am old now.
I am old now.
I work hard every day.
I work hard more than every young man.

That is very touching indeed.
Well, now you are in your seventies, I wonder if you have any regrets.
I am sure you would say you do have, however, in my eyes, I believe you are an admirable poet of rare accomplishment.
You haven't lived your life in vain.

I like the soup, too. How are you doing, buddy?  Somebody told me that you had refused to meet with Obama, because you do not like dealing with statesman. Is this the true story or just a rumor made up by  sweet gossip of yours? I will get your international travel paid if your have the second thought.
