Chapter 10 Tomorrow, Tomorrow

[Russia] Turgenev
"Oh, tomorrow, tomorrow!" he consoled himself, until this "tomorrow" sent him to the grave.

How empty, how dull, how small the past days!How few, how dull, how stupid the traces it left behind, the hours that passed away!

However, man wants to survive.He loves life, he hopes for life, he hopes for himself, he hopes for the future... Ah, how much happiness he looks forward to in the future!

However, he always thought that those future days would not be the same as the one that just passed away. Why?

Yes, this is beyond his expectation.He doesn't like to think at all, he doesn't want to be bad.

"Oh, tomorrow, tomorrow!" he consoled himself, until this "tomorrow" sent him to the grave.

Well, once in the grave, nature no longer thinks.

Heart mark notes
Tomorrow after tomorrow, so many tomorrows.If you wait all your life for tomorrow, nothing will be done until the day you go to the grave.Flowers bloom and fall, spring goes and autumn comes, time goes by, day by day, month by month, year by year, many people in the world are always tired by "tomorrow" and achieve nothing in their lives.

Lincoln said: "Our lives are all made of time, and a moment of time wasted is a part of life wasted." There are three steps of time: the past stands still forever, the present flies like an arrow, and the future is slowly moving. late.Yesterday is a check that has already been drawn; tomorrow is a bond, I don't know what will happen to it; only today is the cash that creates everything.Don't place your dreams on an illusory tomorrow, now is the time to realize your dreams.
