All I Ever Needed to Know about Life I Learned from a Japanese T-Shirt

While in Gunma over Golden Week, I popped into the local Shimamura to pick up some polo shirts for work. I passed the t-shirt section and found some very inspiring messages. Very Zen. Being a linguist, I have become quite proficient in deciphering English that has been translated from Japanese using generic translation software, as was clearly the case here:

Translation: When at first you don't succeed...spell check.


Translation: Life is Good (But only if you act on those sudden chances to make it so.)

Translation: Doors are good for going out. But sometimes they're not.
