"Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend." – Theophrastus

“时间是人类可以花费的最宝贵的东西。”——西奥弗拉斯图斯

Lily had always been a busy person. She worked long hours in a demanding job and rarely took time for herself.

莉莉一直是个忙碌的人。她在一份要求高的工作中长时间工作，很少为自己留时间。

One day, after a health scare, Lily realized that she had been neglecting her health and personal well-being for far too long. She had spent years focusing on her career and chasing success, but in the process, she had sacrificed the most important thing—her own happiness.

一天，在一次健康危机后，莉莉意识到她已经忽视了自己的健康和个人福祉太久了。多年来，她一直专注于事业和追求成功，但在这个过程中，她牺牲了最重要的东西——自己的幸福。

Determined to make a change, Lily decided to re-evaluate her priorities. She started taking regular breaks, spending time with family, and making sure to take care of her body and mind.

莉莉决心做出改变，她决定重新评估自己的优先事项。她开始定期休息，和家人共度时光，并确保照顾好自己的身体和心理。
