Mnemonic


Time is a stream that you go through backwards. Before your eyes and memory are all of the things you did. 后 Behind you, metaphorically, is what comes 以后 after. You must 以 use all the knowledge you had gained so far to make the time 以后 after now even better than it was before.

Usage

It won't happen again afterwards.

从今以后
