Focus on today but not too much on blurry future
I like an intersting sentence very much. The sentence is that yesterday is the debt;tomorrow
is the loan while today is all the property we have. Maybe, it is reasonable to focus on today but not too much on blurry future.
According to what I have observed, some young adults sometimes will feel very confused about their future. "Try to be a scientist? Oh, it is boring and difficult." "Why not learn engineering? But engineer is a hard job and cannot earn so much money." They always are thinking and then write very sad words on the Internet. Subsequently, time flies and they achieve nothing.
There is a gold principle that divide the time of achieving an assighment into several periods of time which is 20minutes, and between two periods of time, we should get a rest for a short time, for instance, 5 minutes. It is said that if we use this principle, we would achieve our goals in shorter time. Furthermore, I tried to follow the principle and it really worked. At the same time, I felt very satisfied with myself, because not merely I finished a tough assighment in less time, but also time was significant and not wasted. A professor of the Harvard once told an intelligent but confused student that I would strive today rather than paying too much attention to the hazy future. The student realized something and took on his work. Finally, he was the best student in the graduation commencement.
In briefly, tomorrow is virtual, and a goal of the future is enough; cooking today in the best way seems to be more realistic. Let us begin with trying the "20 minutes gold principle"!^-^
I appreciate your principle and your advice that we should focus on today instead of paying much attention on what is going to happen in the future. Actually, from my perspective, if we really make the most of every minute and keep a balance between work and rest, our future will be successful undoultedly.
