Shakespeare once said, "Those who abandon time will be abandoned by time." I would add: "Those who abandon today will be abandoned by today." And those who are abandoned by today will have no tomorrow.
If farmers did not pull weeds, fertilize, and control pests in time today, how would they reap the harvest in the golden autumn? If doctors did not rescue and treat patients in time today, how would people enjoy healthy bodies in the future? If sanitation workers did not clean up garbage in time today, how would the city remain clean day after day? If soldiers of the People's Liberation Army did not arm themselves and prepare for war in time today, how would thousands of families enjoy lasting peace?
"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow; how many tomorrows there are; I live for tomorrow, and all things are wasted." These few lines of poetry are the crystallization of the life experiences of our ancestors, who have gone through countless twists and turns and hardships. Moved by this, the ancients left behind famous stories of diligence such as "hanging one's hair from a beam," "pricking one's thigh," "using fireflies to light the way," and "chiseling a wall to steal light." Now that we have superior conditions, shouldn't we cherish today even more and grasp every minute and second of it?
