把握机会

要爱惜光阴，因为现今的世代邪恶。

我又转念：见日光之下，快跑的未必能赢，
力战的未必得胜，智慧的未必得粮食，
明哲的未必得资财，灵巧的未必得喜悦；
所临到众人的，是在乎当时的机会。

焉知你得了王后的位分不是为现今的机会么？

Let no one deceive you with empty words,
For because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.

I have seen something else under the sun:
The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong,
nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned;
but time and chance happen to them all.

And who knows but that you have come to royal position for position for such a time as this?
