There's a very nice kernel of truth in that but come on, the way it's said is just an English-specific pun.
EDIT: to clarify: I 100% agree with the quote but I don't find puns a good medium through which to convey an eternal wisdom as that quote.
- timendum 5y agoIt works also in Italian and probably in Dutch, French, Swedish, Portuguese and Catalanl; the root is from Latin praesentāre (“to show”), common to all these languages (and others).
- qiskit 5y agoIs present synonymous with "now" and "gift" in italian? Can you provide an example? Regardless, it certainly doesn't apply to chinese.
- timendum 5y agoCorrect, one example for gift: - Ho portato questo piccolo presente per you. - I brought this small gift for you. On for "now": - Faresti meglio a pensare al presente. - You should be thinking more about your present.
