Hi,

Can anyone please help me translate a sentence into Sanskrit?
It is for a tattoo, so it has to be correct - I have myself tried automatic translators on the internet, but I will be sure, so please only answer if you know the language Sanskrit :-)

The sentence is:

Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today

... translated into the shortest form possible.

I will really appreciate some help!

Well, it is a James Dean quotation, and the sentence is in the imperative mood.

"dream" here refers to ambitions and the things you want from life.
"live forever" = as if your life will never end.
"live as if you'll die today" = live your life and do the things you want to, as if life will end today / in this moment.

Hi again, I wonder if you are still willing to help me with this?
It has been quite a long time since your last answer, and I really need this translation.

If you will help me, I will be very pleased!
If not, then please tell me, so I can try to find help somewhere else.
