No one knows what'll happen in tomorrow.We can look back what happened to us,but have no idea about future.Yes we can picture the blue map for our own,but there's saying changes run faster than plans.Please enjoy your every minute.
My uncle got a traffic accident last week,yesterday I know my aunt is suffering the esophagus cancer,there're people who were buried under the collapsed house because of the cruel storm the day before yesterday.
It's true that I never thought about this.My uncle is young,but he did get an accident.My aunt is about 60,but she has 2 sons and one daughter,it's the time to enjoy the rest life.I never thought so close to a disaster.
All scared me.Today is just today.One never knows more about future.We're so lucky because of live and healthy.Please enjoy.

Ye,you are right,there is a famous adage in china called"80-90% things in your life will not be expect for you ", as my age increase, bit by bit,I find most of things in my life can't get along with my plans. You want get something,the God just don't give you, you don't want get something,the God just give you. Now I really understand that it's stupid to think about the future. Past is past,future is inscrutability, the one thing you need to do is to do what you should ko today,don't waste time, make yourself contented and happy everyday.

I agree with you,we will never know what will happen tomorrow,so we need enjoy today,even if the last day is not a happy day,we need clear the mood and have a new and good mood to face a new day.But this not means the plan is not useful,i think making a short plan is very necessary.

I agree. If we focus on the present moment, there is nothing that we need. I wrote an article a while back titled “Your Precious Now” and in it I talked about the power of living in the present and letting yesterday go because it will not come back and tomorrow will happen of its own accord whether we worry about it or not!
Life is short and it can change in a split second so your message is an important one, live for today and the make the very most of it!

Hi, so beautiful words, and I like this kind of discussion, yes you are right, today is just today, nobody knows what will happen tomorrow, but sometimes I feel really confused about my future, I don't know where I will be, and what I will do in future, that makes me feel anxious, and a little worry about that, but now I read your discussion I think I feel better.

Definitely, that's why we have to cherish every moment. We can never know what may happen tomorrow. We can always plan, but it just doesn't go as we have planned all the time. A few weeks ago, a barrage of typhoons swept my country rendering millions homeless. We can never take anything for granted.
I'm sorry for what happened to your uncle and aunt, and to all those devastated by the storm. It's sad to learn of tragedies like these but they're all part of life. We can only pray to God to spare us from these hardships, and help whenever we can.
Life is short. Let us make every second meaningful. Start the day with hope, end the day with thanksgiving. And whatever happens tomorrow, just be ready.

that is true, we never know what will happen to us the next minute. You know how i live my life in this uncertain world? i don't invest much on things, i don't indulge much on the material thinks this side of the would can offer. I am more interested in people, in making them the importance of their existence. of helping my family in times of necessity, of making my students feel good about themselves, of making my children love like no other, in making giving my husband the respect he deserves, of giving back to God the thanks He deserve. after all materials things will vanish, what remains in how you make people feel..
