If we think deeply, our real life is to live today, the present moment. Why dogs are so happy to be with their masters because they live in this very moment. They do not look back to their yesterday life, and they do not know what tomorrow life is. They only know how to live happily now with their masters. That is the dog’s philosophy.
We are human. Of course, we shall live our life today to the best as we can. Todays is real, and yesterday is gone, tomorrow unknown. Therefore, we have to seize the very moment today, to work, to enjoy positively in every way.
There are a number of persons who, getting up from their beds, do not know how to spend their time for the day. Especially for the people, who have just retired, they find their daily life is on astray, knowing not what to do in the coming life. Many persons may not be accustomed to the retired life, and few died early before they reach sun-set age.
We, Chinese have a saying: “Do not waste a day. Youth will not come back.” Western proverb also said: “There is life, there is hope.” Shakespeare said: “The winners belong to those who live longest.”
Many people, who have been successful in their career, died in their prime age. They cannot enjoy the fruit which they have achieved. Such people are really sad. It is because they do not live today. Therefore, what we have to do is to live today well, enjoying today well.
