Seven Swords

Was watching a Chinese movie "Seven Swords" on Channel U earlier and happened to catch an interesting phrase.

"莫问前程有愧,只求今生无悔"

I will try my best to translate it in English for those who don't understand.

"Don't ask (life) to have a past without guilt, but just wish to live this lifetime without regret."

All of us have past guilt but no point dwelling on it. Just live life to the fullest and without having any regret. Very interesting and meaningful phrase which will serve me as a constant reminder to let go of the past and the wrong that I have made. Learn from the mistakes and pick myself up, lift my head high and face the world.

Anyway, the show is good. Got quite a bit of knowledge that I can learn from the author of the Seven Swords novel series. Hope to be able to share more words of wisdom next time.
