Thank you both of you

I misunderstood the point, I didn't know that Panda was too concerned. :)) Anyway, Lia was right. The Romanian part sounds poetical.

Maybe the word "rod" confused Mihaela a little. There is the temptation to connect it to 'the fruit of our work' (roadele muncii noastre). 'Rod' makes one think of something one achieves with effort. But it's not the case here at all. Since we don't have a saying that is equivalent to "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is..." (or in any case one I can think of), the translator used a slightly poetical substitute to suggest the same idea.. carpe diem! But it's not a saying (zicala) in Romanian.

It's interesting the quote is so much different from the English counterpart. This was taken from a dubbed movie animated English movie, being "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift, that is why it is called the present." (scene in english reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7BwWNMFJwE) (scene in romanian for reference at 29:25 http://www.trilulilu.ro/video-animatie/kung-fu-panda-cd-1-2) So when I put the scene together in romanian it sounds like Esti prea ocupat de ce a fost si ce va fi. O zicala, ziua de ieri a trecut. Maine nu stim ce aduce (pretty great translation from english for the first part to the dubbed version). Simtim doar gustul clipei, si-i culegem roadele. So if he says you are too worried about "why it was and what will be," would it make sense for him to mean " We don't think forward, we don't focus on what we'll do in the future or what we should do for a better future. Therefore, we pay for that." ?
