“Tomorrow comes after tomorrow, how many tomorrows can there be? I spend my life waiting for tomorrow, and everything ends in frustration.” This is the *Song of Tomorrow* left by our ancestors, which I keep by my bedside as a constant reminder.
When we reminisce about the past or plan for the future, do we truly value "today"? Today is our most precious treasure, and once lost, it can never be regained. Since "tomorrow follows tomorrow," we should not rely solely on illusions of the future; our efforts and struggles must begin today.
Shakespeare once said, "Those who waste time, time will waste them." Those who ignore and discard today will eventually be abandoned by time. If life is nothing but empty waiting and illusions, one is merely living in a dream.
Throughout history, successful people have always regarded time as their most precious asset. Confucius, the great teacher, lamented the passing river, saying, "It passes away like this," reminding us to cherish every moment. Great inventors like Thomas Edison used every spare moment for experiments, leading to over a thousand inventions. Balzac worked tirelessly day and night to complete his masterpiece, *La Comédie humaine*, and Lu Xun dedicated every moment to his writing. Their great achievements stem from their commitment to the present, rather than dwelling on the past or idling away the future.
Time is fleeting and never returns. Do not waste your years. Seize today, and you will achieve greatness. Remember, the struggle begins today!
