人生如朝露,意所乐则为之,何暇计议穷达。云能穷人者固缪,云不能穷人者,亦未免有意于畏穷也。
---- 答陈师仲主簿书
by 苏轼
The whole sentence is like above.
In the letter, Su-Shi was arguing about whether poetry makes people poor or not.

"Life is as short as morning dew. So I have no time to fuss about my wealth and fame, I make poems only because I like to. Those who claim poetry makes people poor are ridiculous indeed. But those who claim poetry won't make people poor are afraid of being poor. (Hence they're also ridiculous.) "

人生如朝露 意所乐则为之 何暇计

人生如朝露 意所乐则为(做)之 何暇计

意就是你想的做的事,意所乐就是你觉得会让你开心的事,因此这句话的意思是,Do what make you feel happy
何暇计就是,不用去计较太多
Do not care for it too much

Can someone help me to translate this ?
