Correct way to say “life is a lesson, you learn it when you are through”


In Limp Biskit’s “Take a Look Around” they use this phrase I find pretty cool.
“Life is a lesson, you learn it when you are through”. So basically the lesson
never ends, until you die.

I’ve been meaning to come with a good translation, a brief formal one
preferably. These are some options I think might be acceptable but not sure.
What do you think? Which of these are correct? Which or what would be a good
way? What would be more formal / polite options?

1) 人生は教訓。終わったら学ぶ。  
2) 人生は教訓。終わりに学ぶ。  
3) 人生は教訓。あなたはそれは終わったら学ぶ。  
4) 人生は教訓。それは終わるまで学べない。  
5) 人生は教訓。それは終わるまで学べられない。  
6) 人生は教訓です。それは終わるまで学べないもの  
7) 人生は人生終わった時まで学べない教訓です  
8) 人生は終わった時まで学べない教訓です




The literal translation is "人生はレッスン, 終わった時にそれを学ぶ". It is difficult to
translate "Lesson" in "Life is a lesson" into an appropriate Japanese word.

I think 教訓 is not appropriate for the phrase. There are many more natural ways
of saying the phrase and I think 人生死ぬまで勉強 is best and the most common way of
saying it.
