Carpe Diem

Seize the Day. That is the exact meaning of "Carpe Diem", a Latin term taken from a poem by Horace. So how should this phrase impact your life?

In layman's terms, carpe diem means make the most out of it. When opportunity knocks at the door, open the door with gladness and determination. Because once the opportunity goes away, you may never get that chance again.

So, you're planning to do something you've really wanted to do? Then go for it, you dummy! Unless what you want to do is illegal and/or unethical, there's nothing stopping you from doing what you want. Just don't go overboard, okay?

Take it from me, once you've realized you've missed a really good opportunity, it hurts like hell. You know you could have done this, could've won that, but you just disregarded the chance.
