前几天偶遇一首小诗,和我最近看的The Power Of Now的主题不期而遇。而且很神奇的是,和我们之前节目分享的Master Oogway说的那句至理名言也十分契合。
You are too concerned with what it was and what will be. There is a saying: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called “present”.
你对未来和过去考虑的太多了,有句老话:昨天是历史,明天是未知,今天才是拥有。这就是为什么它叫做礼物(现在)。
为什么这么说呢?读完这个故事你就明白了。
