Happy the man,and happy he done,
He,who can call to-day his own:
He who ,secure within,can say:
"To-morrow,do the worst,for I have liv"d to-day.‘
--------Roman poet Horace
Salutation To The Dawn
Look to this day!
For it is life ,the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence:
The bliss of growth
The glory of action
The splendour of achievement.
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision
But today well lived makes yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope
Look well,therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation to the dawn.
---------Indian dramatist Kalidasa
Why not ask yourself these questions,and write down the answers?
1.Do I tend to put off living in the present inorder to worry about the future,or to yearn for some’magical rose over the horizon"?
2.Do I sometimes embitter the present by regretting things that happened in the past---that are over and done with?
3.Do I get up in the morning determined to"Seize the day"----to get the utmost out of these twenty-four hours?
4.Can I get more out of life by "living in day-tight compartments"?
5.When shall I start to do this?Next week?...Tomorrow?...Today?
