uncovermandarin Posted September 3, 2009 at 06:22 PM Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 at 06:22 PM Today I read that this was an old Chinese Saying: “as long as you’re planning a journey, you own the journey. The minute you embark on that journey, the journey owns you.” I couldnt fins any reference to it, and wondered if there is a Chinese translation, either meaning similiar, or a translation from this.

echo_zkl Posted September 4, 2009 at 02:18 AM Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 at 02:18 AM It's not easy to come up with a proper translation. 谋事在人，成事在天？ Though I'm pretty much sure that's not correct, it's the best one I could think up.

fengyixiao Posted September 4, 2009 at 07:56 AM Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 at 07:56 AM 谋事在人,成事在天 Man proposes, God disposes. "计划赶不上变化" Literally:Plans can't catch up changes. Standard:Changes run faster than plans. I think the second is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
