	ramarren Number of messages: 291	In Russian this sentence is conditional, in English - affirmative... I do not think it's right. What's about the German original?

	iepurica Number of messages: 2102	I would have translated the begining by "In life, we lose mostly..."

	ViaLuminosa Number of messages: 1116	According to the Russian version, this should sound like: "If we allow ourselves to get stuck in fears that we could miss some better thing in life, we might lose something."

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Thank you everyone! Heidrun confirmed here that "most" is the correct word to be used, therefore the Italian version has to be corrected. I'll validate this one. CC: ViaLuminosa iepurica itsatrap100 ramarren gbernsdorff merdogan 3mend0

	Tzicu-Sem Number of messages: 493	... and I thank you, too. I have seen only now that the text is available in other languages, too .

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Yeah, I made that correction based on the Italian translation, but it turned out to be wrong!

	Tzicu-Sem Number of messages: 493	Interesting phenomenon how the translations differ though from language to language...

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	That's the charm of languages!

	iepurica Number of messages: 2102	By the way, that's why it should be translated the source language. Unfortunately it is not possible always. Kind of ..."Lost in translation", isn't it?

	Tzicu-Sem Number of messages: 493	Indeed
		20 February 2009 00:59
	itsatrap100 Number of messages: 279	I would have written this as "We miss the best things in life when we allow ourselves to be controlled by the fear that we might miss something".
