"Seize the Day," often expressed as "Carpe Diem," is a Latin phrase that encourages individuals to make the most of the present moment. It suggests that one should take advantage of current opportunities rather than procrastinating or waiting for a more favorable time. This concept is often associated with living life to the fullest and embracing spontaneity. The phrase gained popularity through literature, notably in the works of Horace, a Roman poet, and more recently in the film Dead Poets Society. It serves as a reminder to appreciate life and act decisively, as time is fleeting and opportunities may not come again.
