　　图功未晚，亡羊尚可补牢；浮慕无成，羡鱼何如结网。

It is never too late for you to strive for achievement. A sheep is lost, but you can still mend the sheepfold to prevent future loss.
Dreams of success will not do you any good. Rather than standing by a river and long for the fish, go back home and make a net.

　　图功未晚，亡羊尚可补牢；浮慕无成，羡鱼何如结网。

It is never too late to strive for achievement. Rather than bemoan missed opportunities, do something and do it now.
It is useless to dream of success. Rather than dream your life away, roll your sleeves up to make your dreams come true.
