there is no time like the present "there is no time like the present" which means now is the right or the best time to do something. Conditions are favorable right now to do something. It's a advice really. It is a advice to make the most of the day or this paticular moment. Take advantage of the situation now to do something before it is too late. 意思是：现在是做某件事情的最正确或者说最好的时机。 For example: I want to cut the grass, but I can't be borther. And someone might say: Well, it might be raining later. So do it now, there is no time like the present.
