Embrace Life in Chinese / Japanese...

人生を享受する means “embrace life,” in Japanese.

This can also be translated as “enjoy life.”

Note: Because this selection contains some special Japanese Hiragana characters, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.

擁抱生活 is a Chinese title that means to embrace or to hug life, or embrace what it is to live.

This literally translates as: Without having experienced the cold of winter, one cannot appreciate the warmth of spring.

Figuratively, this means: One cannot truly appreciate happiness without having gone through hardship.

There are many contrasts in life. One simply cannot fully know what joy is without having experienced misery, difficulty, and pain. How could you explain “light” if you did not have “darkness” to compare it to?

Embrace hardship, as it makes the good times seem even better.
